stop search at Nyquist should be set to TRUE (default) to include only frequencies less than the Nyquist frequency (half the sampling rate) in the harmonic search.
When set to FALSE, this VI continues searching the frequency domain beyond Nyquist by assuming that these higher frequency components have aliased according to the equation:
aliased f = Fs - (f modulo Fs)
where
Fs = 1/dt = sampling rate.
|
 |
signal in is the input time-domain signal.
 |
t0 is the trigger time of the waveform.
|
 |
dt is the time interval between data points in the waveform.
|
 |
Y are the data values of a waveform.
|
|
 |
export signals selects the signal to export to exported signals.
0 | None (fastest computation) | 1 | Input signal | 2 | Detected signal (single sine tone) | 3 | Residual signal (signal - tone) |
|
 |
highest harmonic controls the 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.
|
 |
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 occurs 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 non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

 |
THD contains the measured Total Harmonic Distortion up to and including the highest harmonic. THD 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.
|
 |
components level contains the array of amplitudes of the measured harmonics in volts if the signal in is in volts. The array index is the harmonic number including 0 (DC), 1 (fundamental), 2 (second harmonic),... n (nth harmonic), up to and including the highest harmonic.
|
 |
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 indicator on the front panel 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 non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

The multichannel waveform array input should be the result of a multichannel acquisition where each element of the array of waveforms is a distinct and separate channel of data. This VI is designed to process a single channel or multiple channels continuously, typically from within a For Loop or a While Loop.
