DFD Group Delay Compensator VI

Digital Filter Design VIs and Functions

DFD Group Delay Compensator VI

Owning Palette: Special Filter Design VIs

Installed With: Digital Filter Design Toolkit

Compensates the group delay of a filter.

The resulting filter, compensated filter, has the same magnitude response as the original filter but includes a constant group delay in the frequency ranges you specify.

pole radius constraint specifies the maximum pole radius for the new filter. The default is 0.99. A small pole radius constraint decreases the possibility of filter instability caused by finite precision effects. However, a small value of the pole radius constraint can adversely affect the potential sharpness of the group delay response. The valid values for pole radius constraint are within the range (0, 1]. This VI ignores the input and applies no constraint to the radius if a value is beyond the range.
integer group delay? specifies whether group delay for the new filter is an integer. The default is TRUE. If you set integer group delay? to FALSE, group delay is any real number.
filter in specifies the input filter.
compensator order specifies the order of the allpass filter that compensator returns, which compensates group delay. compensator order must be an even number.
freq ranges specifies one or more frequency ranges in which this VI compensates the group delay.
low specifies the low end of the frequency range. The default is 0.
high specifies the high end of the frequency range. The default is 0.2.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
fs specifies the sampling frequency in hertz. The value must be greater than zero. The default is 1, which is the normalized sampling frequency.
compensated filter returns the new filter with compensated group delay.
compensator returns the allpass filter that the VI uses to compensate the group delay.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
