Decomposes signal as a linear combination of Gaussian chirplet elementary functions. Wire data to the signal input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.

Inputs/Outputs
extension
—
extension specifies the method to use to pad data at the borders of the input signal to lessen discontinuity. The extension length is half the window length.
signal
—
signal specifies the input signal.
number of terms
—
number of terms specifies the maximum number of elementary functions to use in the adaptive representation.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
elementary functions
—
elementary functions specifies the settings of the elementary functions.
sampling rate
—
sampling rate specifies the sampling rate of signal in hertz. sampling rate must be greater than 0, or this VI sets sampling rate to 1 automatically. The default is 1.
sampling info
—
sampling info returns the sampling information of the signal.
chirplet info
—
chirplet info returns the parameters of each detected Gaussian chirplet elementary function.
reconstructed signal
—
reconstructed signal returns the signal reconstructed from the specified elementary functions.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
