Overview

The Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit provides VIs for time frequency analysis, time series analysis, wavelet analysis, and system identification.

Use the Time Frequency Analysis VIs to transform a time domain signal to a linear or quadratic time-frequency domain representation. You can extract useful information from the time-frequency domain representation of a signal, or you can process a time-frequency domain representation and reconstruct a time domain signal.

Use the Time Series Analysis VIs to perform preprocessing, statistical analysis, correlation analysis, spectrum estimation, and model estimation on a univariate or multivariate (vector) time series. You can extract useful information from the time series with different analysis methods for different applications.

Use the Wavelet Analysis VIs to perform transforms and inverse transforms between a signal and the wavelet coefficients of the signal. You can use the Feature Extraction VIs to perform denoising, detrending, probability density function estimation, peak detection, edge detection, and ridge detection on a 1D or 2D signal.

Use the System Identification VIs to preprocess raw data from a dynamic system and develop a model that reflects the behavior of that system. You can analyze the response of a dynamic system to a certain stimulus.

The Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit also provides the System Identification Assistant. Use the System Identification Assistant to identify the characteristics of a system through signal processing and mathematics. Refer to the System Identification Assistant Readme for important information about the System Identification Assistant, including system requirements, installation instructions, and known issues.

System Requirements

In addition to the system requirements for the LabVIEW Development System, the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit has the following requirements:

  • LabVIEW 2021 Full or Professional Development System
  • At least 600 MB of disk space
  • System Identification Assistant

Refer to the LabVIEW Readme for additional system requirements and supported operating systems for LabVIEW.

Supported Operating Systems

The Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit supports the following operating systems:

  • Windows 10
  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server 2016

Note  Refer to Unsupported Windows Operating Systems for more information about support for Microsoft Windows OSes.

Installation Instructions

Download the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit installer from ni.com/downloads. NI software includes NI Package Manager to handle the installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using Package Manager.

You can also install LabVIEW and the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit using the LabVIEW Platform media. To request additional LabVIEW Platform media, refer to the NI website.

Note  If you purchased this product with an NI Software Suite or NI Product Bundle, use the installation media that shipped with your purchase to install this product.

Product Security and Critical Updates

Visit ni.com/security to view and subscribe to receive security notifications about NI products. For information about critical updates from NI, refer to Available Critical and Security Updates for NI Software.

Activation Notice

Log in to your NI User Account to activate your NI products. If you are managing your license with a volume license server, you should receive your volume license file by email. The license that activates the LabVIEW Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit also activates the LabVIEW System Identification Assistant and the LabVIEW Digital Filter Design Toolkit.

Your purchase of the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit enables you to use the LabWindows™/CVI™ Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit. To request the installation media for the LabWindows/CVI Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit, contact NI.

Accessing the Help

Refer to the LabVIEW Help, accessible by selecting Help»LabVIEW Help from LabVIEW, for information about the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit.

Finding Examples

Select Help»Find Examples from LabVIEW to launch the NI Example Finder. The following table lists the examples for the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit and the directory which contains the examples.

Examples Directory
Time Frequency Analysis labview\examples\Time Frequency Analysis
Time Series Analysis labview\examples\Time Series Analysis
Wavelet Analysis labview\examples\Wavelet Analysis
System Identification labview\examples\System Identification

You can modify an example VI to fit an application, or you can copy and paste from one or more examples into a VI that you create.

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.

Using NI Software with Microsoft Windows 10

Microsoft Windows 10 is the latest version of the Windows operating system and features significant changes compared to previous versions. Windows 10 introduces several new capabilities and also combines features from both Windows 7 and Windows 8. For more information about NI support for Windows 10, visit ni.com/windows10.

Unsupported Windows Operating Systems

The Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit no longer supports Windows Vista/XP/7/8.x, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012, or any 32-bit Windows operating system. Versions of this product that ship after May 1, 2021, may not install or execute correctly on these operating systems.
