Our monitoring program in Metsähovi, Finland, consists of a complete sample of bright, flat-spectrum extragalactic compact radio sources. For the structure function analysis we have selected 42 best observed objects from this sample. The structure function analysis gives us two parameters, the slope value α and the maximum variability timescale Tmax.
