Builds a filter using poles, zeroes, and gain values. Details  Example

	gain specifies the gain this VI uses to create the filter in linear units.
	zeroes specifies the zeroes this VI uses to create the filter.
	poles specifies the poles this VI uses to create the filter.
	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.
	filter out returns a new filter.
	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.

DFD Build Filter from Zero-Pole-Gain Details

The filter that the filter out returns represents the transfer function H(z), expressed by

where z is a complex variable, z_k is a zero, and p_k is a pole. N is the numerator order and M is the denominator order.

The poles of a stable filter must remain inside the unit circle.

Example

Refer to the Create Filter from Zero-Pole-Gain VI in the labview\examples\Digital Filter Design\Getting Started directory for an example of using the DFD Build Filter from Zero-Pole-Gain VI.
