timeStretch(a)

Stretches a series of data points by replicating them.

Syntax

o_timeStretch(a)

a: Array1d number - an input array of numerical values

xFactor: scalar Int - number of times to repeat each input value

return: array 1D -  input values repeated xFactor times

Usage

Designed for use in graphically displaying values. Since each value is repeated multiple times, graphs are simple made with levels shown rather than just data points.

Location

menu: veeos ==> Data ==> timeStretch

library: dataLib

Example

o_timeStretch([2 6 3 6 7],3) returns [2 2 2 6 6 6 3 3 3 6 6 6 7 7 7]

Notes

Where this is intended and is quite useful is in visualizing real-world signals that are controlled by discrete values. Classic case would be the time output of a DAC.
