    Since a 3-point moving average filter is simply (t1 + t2 + t3)/3.

    Your coefficient set would be:

    Time . . Coeff.

    1. . . . 0.33333

    2. . . . 0.33333

    3. . . . 0.33333

    You can create a text file with the coefficients and import it into the megawizard (edit coefficient set, bottom of the window there is a radio button for import from file)

    (edit - sorry, I'm having a heck of a time making the table look like a table)
