axis record: add average position field #6808

Open FreddieAkeroyd opened 3 years ago

FreddieAkeroyd commented 3 years ago

It could be useful to have an average readback value in the axis record, this may be useful in the case of noisy readbacks. The compress record looks to be able to do such averaging, if we were to set this record to scan every e.g. 0.1 seconds and average the last 10 values, then it would show a 1 second rolling position average.

Could be useful for NIMROD too as we set a large EDEL, and maybe MERLIN too

we have implemented smoothing in the galil for WISH, the readback was so noisy it swamped the IOC with monitor updates. So this is not needed for WISH, maybe not at all now.
