Removes the trend from 1D streaming signals by setting the approximation coefficients to zeros. Wire data to the signal input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Inputs/Outputs
![]() initialize? specifies whether to initialize the internal state of the block of data to zero. The default is FALSE. ![]() signal specifies the input signal. ![]() threshold frequency specifies the upper frequency limit, in hertz, of the trend that this VI removes from the signal. The threshold frequency determines the wavelet transform level. The wavelet transform level specifies the number of levels in the discrete wavelet analysis, where more levels result in a longer delay when you run this VI. The wavelet transform level is floor(log2[sampling rate/(2*threshold frequency)]). The floor function rounds a value to the nearest integer towards negative infinity. The default is -1, which means this VI sets the threshold frequency as sampling rate/4. ![]() wavelet specifies the wavelet type to use for the discrete wavelet analysis. The default is db02. The options include two types: orthogonal (Haar, Daubechies (dbxx), Coiflets (coifx), Symmlets (symx)) and biorthogonal (Biorthogonal (biorx_x), including FBI (bior4_4 (FBI))), where x indicates the order of the wavelet. ![]() error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. ![]() filter banks specifies the analysis filter banks and the synthesis filter banks for the wavelet you specify. If you specify a value for filter banks, this VI ignores the settings in the wavelet input. You can use the Wavelet Design Express VI to design the analysis filters and the corresponding synthesis filters.
![]() detrended signal returns the signal without the trend. ![]() trend signal returns the residual trend of the signal. ![]() error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
