Retrieves approximation or detail discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients at a specific level. Use the WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI to compute the DWT of a signal. Wire data to the DWT coef input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Inputs/Outputs
coef type
—
coef type specifies the coefficient type this VI returns.
DWT coef
—
DWT coef specifies the approximation coefficients and the detail coefficients from the multi-level discrete wavelet transform. Each element of the array contains the 2D DWT results of one level. The ith element stores the approximation coefficients and the detail coefficients at level i+1.
coef level
—
coef level specifies the coefficient level this VI returns. The coef level must be between 1 and the largest level of the coefficients. The levels in the WA Discrete Wavelet Transform VI specifies the largest level of the coefficients. The default is 1, which means this VI returns the coefficients at level 1.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
DWT coef out
—
DWT coef out returns DWT coef unchanged.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
selected DWT coef
—
selected DWT coef returns the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients at the coefficient level coef level of the coefficient type coef type. |
