Computes the convolution of two sequences.
A Boolean that specifies whether to reset the internal state of the node.
True | Resets the internal state of the node. |
False | Does not reset the internal state of the node. |
This input is available when either of the input sequences is a double-precision, floating-point number, a waveform, or an array of waveforms.
Default: False
Length of each set of x-values. This node computes each set of values separately.
sample length x must be greater than 0.
This input is available only if x is a double-precision, floating-point number.
Default: 100
Length of each set of y-values. This node computes each set of values separately.
sample length y must be greater than 0.
This input is available only if y is a double-precision, floating-point number.
Default: 100
The convolution method to use.
This input is available only if x and y are waveforms or arrays.
If x and y are small, the direct method typically is faster. If x and y are large, the frequency domain method typically is faster. Additionally, slight numerical differences can exist between the two methods.

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
A Boolean that specifies whether to use the data points before the current block to compute the convolution.
True | Uses the data points before the current block to compute the convolution. |
False | Does not use the data points before the current block to compute the convolution. |
This input is available only if one of the input sequences is a double-precision, floating-point number.
Default: True

The linear convolution of the signals x(t) and y(t) is defined as:
where the symbol * denotes linear convolution.
This node computes the linear convolution, not the circular convolution. However, because is a Fourier transform pair, where is the circular convolution of x(t) and y(t), you can create a circular version of the convolution.
