With moving mean value generation, the integration time is not equal to the time grid. An integration time that is either smaller or larger than the time grid is possible.

1. Integration time smaller than time grid: Based on the time stamp of the calculated mean value, a mean value generation is carried out with values from the past. The next furthest back time stamp is not reached because the integration time is shorter than the time grid.

2. Integration time greater than time grid: A mean value is calculated from n values (with n>0). The number n results from dividing the integration time by the time grid.
