Removes the offset of an input signal X and then scales the result so that the output sequence is in the range [–1:1].

Inputs/Outputs
X
—
X is the input array.
Y=(X-offset)/scale
—
Y=(X-offset)/scale is the output array of the same size as X.
scale
—
scale is the scaling factor.
offset
—
offset is the offset factor.
error
—
error returns any error or warning from the VI. You can wire error to the Error Cluster From Error Code VI to convert the error code or warning into an error cluster. |
This VI calculates Y=(X-offset)/scale using the following equations:
scale = 0.5(max – min)
offset = min + scale
where max denotes the maximum value in X and min denotes the minimum value in X.
The following equation defines each element of Y.
Y[i] = (X[i] – offset)/scaleYou can use this VI to normalize any numerical sequence with the assurance that the range of the output sequence is [–1:1].
