Thanks for your response Marcus. I have been working with this block, but unfortunately, I do not want to iir filter the power spectrum. I want each spectrum to be weighed equally. I'd like to compute the arithmetic mean for all the power spectra within a minute (I believe there are 4000 per second) so that means I want to average 240,000 spectra and return a single power spectrum (which is the average) to be displayed.
As for the "keep one in N" file dump, I considered that when I came across moving_average_ff but that calculates the average every time it receives a new spectrum which is very wasteful in my case, since it's computing the average 240,000 times more than I need to.
