Stepped Sine

Description

The signal generator block Stepped Sine can generate logarithmic or linear types of stepped sine based on a start and stop frequency. This is a great stimuli to use with SAFEs loudspeaker response tool.

Mx1

Output

The output is a single dimension Mx1 stepped sine.

Name

Name specifies the name of the block.

Sample rate

Sample rate is the sample rate of the stepped sine.

Start

Start specifies when the stepped sine should start. If start is above 0 s the start is zeropadded accordingly. The start can be defined in either s, ms or samples.

Length

Length specifies the length of the stepped sine from start in either s, ms or samples.

Amplitude

Amplitude is the amplitude (Peak) of the stepped sine. As the signal is generated on the computer the unit is defined as FS.

Number of steps

Number of steps is the number of steps the stepped sine should have from start frequency to stop frequency.

Type

Type is the stepped sine type. It can either be logarithmic or linear.

Start Frequency

Start frequency is the frequency where the stepped sine starts.

Stop Frequency

Stop frequency is the frequency where the stepped sine stops.

Outputs

Outputs specifies the number of output(s) the block will have. Each output will output the same stepped sine.
