Distortion Measurements (THD) (G Dataflow)

Source of the signal and spectrum to export.

Default: none

The input signal.

This input can be a waveform or an array of waveforms.

Center frequency to use in the frequency-domain search for the fundamental tone frequency.

Default: -1

Frequency width, as a percentage of the sampling rate, for the frequency-domain search for the fundamental tone frequency.

Default: 5

Highest harmonic, including the fundamental tone, used for the harmonic analysis. For example, for 3rd harmonic analysis, this control should be set to 3 to measure the fundamental, second, and third harmonic.

Default: 19

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.

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

A Boolean specifying whether to include only frequencies less than the Nyquist frequency, or half the sampling rate, in the harmonic search.

Default: True

Spectrum of the exported signal.

This output can return a cluster or a 1D array of clusters.

f0

Start frequency, in Hz, of the spectrum.

df

Frequency resolution, in Hz, of the spectrum.

spectrum

Computed spectrum.

Waveform of the exported signal.

This output can return a waveform or a 1D array of waveforms.

Detected fundamental frequency resulting from searching the frequency domain.

This output can return a double-precision, floating-point number or a 1D array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

Use the center frequency and frequency width to set the frequency domain search range. All harmonics are measured at integer multiples of this fundamental frequency.

Measured total harmonic distortion up to and including the highest harmonic.

This output can return a double-precision, floating-point number or a 1D array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

This output is defined as the ratio of the RMS sum of the harmonics to the amplitude of the fundamental tone. To compute THD as a percentage, you must multiply it by 100.

Array of amplitudes of the measured harmonics in volts if the input signal in is in volts.

This output can return a 1D array of double-precision, floating-point numbers or a 1D array of clusters.

The array index is the harmonic number including 0 (DC), 1 (fundamental), 2 (second harmonic),... n (n ^th harmonic), up to and including the highest harmonic.
