Cross Power VI
Owning Palette: Spectral Analysis VIs
Requires: Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix Toolkit
Computes the double-sided cross power spectrum of two time-domain signals X and Y.
Wire data to the X and Y inputs to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Cross Power Details
The following table lists the support characteristics of this VI.
| Supported on RT targets | Yes |
| Suitable for bounded execution times on RT | Yes |
If the input signals X and Y have different lengths, this VI first pads zeros to the shorter input signal to make the signals the same length. Let n represent the common length of the two signals after this VI pads zeros to the end of the shorter input signal.
This VI computes the double-sided cross power spectrum using the following equation.

where Pdouble is the double-sided cross power spectrum Sxy.
