Math
Allows you to perform basic math operations on one, two, or three curves at a time.
The operations include curve addition and multiplication and resultants, for example. The start, end, or sample frequency of the various curves is not an issue - the VST automatically crops and samples the input curves as needed. The curves must be using the same units, in most cases.
The Math menu contains three secondary menus: one curve, two curves, and three curves. Those secondary menus contain the following plot macros:
One Curve
- Absolute
- Given c1, a curve is created which is the absolute value of y vs. x.
- Acoustic Weighting
- Auto Correlation
- If you are comparing two curves, this function would show where the curves match in phase, where c1 and c2 are the same curve.
- Derivative
- Given c1, a curve is created that is the derivative of c1.
- Double Integral
- Given c1, a curve is created that is the double integral of c1.
- Double Derivative
- Duration
- Calculates the load versus duration for a given curve.
- Duration Comp
- Partitions the input curve into 101 bins, reporting only the negative curve values.
- Duration Tens
- Partitions the input curve into 101 bins, reporting only on the positive curve values.
- Integral
- Given c1, calculates the integral of the c1.
- Max Note
- Min Note
- Normalize
- Given c1, calculates a new curve, such that the peak value is "1".
- Normalize over Max
- Resample or Sample Points
- Resamples the given input curve to the specified data frequency.
- Reverse Curve
- Reverses a curve about the vertical axis, like a mirror.
- Square
- Calculates the square of the curve.
- Window
- Crops the curve to the given window size.
- Window Integral
- Given c1, calculates the integral of c1 over the range of the window.
- Zero
- Sets the y value in a given range to the user-defined constant.
- g>>mph
- Integrates acceleration curve to obtain velocity.
- g>>inch
- Double integrates an acceleration curve (given in g’s and seconds) to a displacement (given in inches and seconds).
- mph>>g
- Given c1, a curve is created that is the derivative of velocity to acceleration, while converting MPH to g's.
Two Curves
- Add
- Adds two curves.
- Average
- Averages two curves.
- Cross Correlation
- Given c1 and c2, a curve is created which is the cross correlation between the y vectors of c1 and c2.
- Cross Plot
- Given c1 and c2, this function plots c1.y as x and c2.y as y of a new curve.
- Divide
- Divides two curves. If c2 has zero values, this will fail.
- Divide with Zero
- If c1 is divided by c2, and if c2 has any zero values, then c1/c2 equals 0.
- Multiply
- Multiplies two curves.
- Resultant
- Given c1 and c2, calculates the square root of (c12 + c22).
- Subtract
- Subtracts two curves.
Three Curves
- Add
- Adds three curves.
- Average
- Averages three curves.
- Multiply
- Multiplies three curves.
- Resultant
- Given c1, c2, and c3, calculates the square root of (c12 + c22+c32).
