How to well understand " Transfer every" and " average pool size " ? - djoubert - 2020-12-17

About these 2 parameters to set in the lrtimelapse feature of Dslrdashboard app,
I need to be sure to well understand, to be sure also that no other parameter interferes...,
My understanding for these parameters :
"transfer every" means that for instance set to 6 frames, only 1 out of 6 jpeg is downloaded to the tablet.
"average pool size" means that for instance set to 3, the average is done with the last 3 jpeg downloaded.
with these 2 parameters set as above, a new average is done every 6 frame, with 3 last frames downloaded ( meaning the last one, "-6" and "-12" one )
If it's the right understanding, is it still right with the general parameter "display next jpg" set.?
Thank you for any help, this will help me to optimize my intervales...

Yes, that's correct. However, I'd recommend to leave those values at their defaults, they are best suited for most cases.

Thank you Gunther,
usually I keep the default parameters.
Wwith my new canon R6, i have difficulties to reach the smallest interval I have with may Canon 6D.
Shooting a lot of Moon timelapse with long focal lengh, I play with the limits...
