Converts the output of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Express VI to a power or amplitude spectrum. The spectrum is single-sided and scaled.

Inputs/Outputs
real FFT data
—
real FFT data specifies the real data to convert to the spectrum.
imaginary FFT data
—
imaginary FFT data specifies the imaginary data to convert to the spectrum.
spectrum type
—
spectrum type specifies whether the output spectrum is an amplitude or power spectrum. The default is Power (Vrms^2).
sample rate (S/s)
—
sample rate (S/s) specifies the sampling rate, in samples per second, for the FFT. Use the actual sample rate (S/s) output from the Sample Rate To Loop Time VI to obtain the sampling rate.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
spectrum out
—
spectrum out contains the power or amplitude spectrum corresponding to spectrum type. spectrum out is single-sided and scaled.
df (Hz)
—
df (Hz) returns the frequency resolution of the spectrum in hertz.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
