Computes the cross power spectrum of scaled signal X [EUx] and scaled signal Y [EUy]. Results are returned in real part [EUx EUy rms] and imaginary part [EUx EUy rms].

Details  

force/exp settings specifies the parameters for the force and exponential windows. These windows are specified in percentages and are used to analyze transients.
force window [%] specifies the length of the force window that is used if window is set to Force-Exponential. The default is 50.00%. force window [%] specifies the duration of the force window as a percentage of the total duration of the signal. Setting force window % at 100 has the effect of not applying any window on the stimulus signal.
exp window [%] specifies the decay rate of the exponential window that is used if window is set to Force-Exponential. The default is 10.00%. exp window [%] specifies the remaining level of the applied exponential window at the end of the signal as a percentage.
scaled signal X [EUx] specifies the scaled signal expressed in the selected engineering units. scaled signal X [EUx] is generally the stimulus or excitation signal in dual-channel measurements.
t0 specifies the start time of the waveform.
dt specifies the time interval in seconds between data points in the waveform.
Y specifies the data values of the waveform.
scaled signal Y [EUy] specifies the scaled signal expressed in the selected engineering units. scaled signal Y [EUy] is generally the response signal in dual-channel measurements.
t0 specifies the start time of the waveform.
dt specifies the time interval in seconds between data points in the waveform.
Y specifies the data values of the waveform.
window specifies the time-domain window to use. The default is Hanning.
Note  When you use a Force-Exponential window, wire force/exp settings.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
averaging parameters specifies how the averaging is computed. The specifications of the parameters include the type of averaging, the type of weighting, and the number of averages.
Note  When averaging mode is set to No averaging, the VI ignores the weighting mode, number of averages, and linear mode settings.
averaging mode specifies the averaging mode.
0No averaging (default)
1Vector averaging
2RMS averaging
3Peak hold
weighting mode specifies the weighting mode. The default is exponential.
Note  RMS and vector averaging support linear weighting and exponential weighting.


0Linear
1Exponential (default)
number of averages specifies the number of averages used by the selected weighting mode. The default is 10. If weighting mode is set to Linear, the measurement stops or automatically restarts after the value of number of averages has been reached. Whether the measurement stops or automatically restarts depends on the linear mode setting.
linear mode specifies the behavior of the averaging if you set the value of the weighting mode parameter to Linear. If you set weighting mode to Exponential, linear mode is ignored.

0One shot—(default) Specifies that the averaging process stops once the value of number of averages is reached.
1Auto restart—Specifies that the averaging process automatically restarts after the value of number of averages is reached.
restart averaging specifies if the selected averaging process has to be restarted. The default is FALSE. When you call this VI for the first time, the averaging process restarts automatically.
real part [EUx EUy rms] returns the real part of the cross power spectrum.
f0 returns the start frequency, in hertz, of the spectrum.
df returns the frequency resolution, in hertz, of the spectrum.
real part returns the real part of the cross power spectrum.
imaginary part [EUx EUy rms] returns the imaginary part of the cross power spectrum.
f0 returns the start frequency, in hertz, of the spectrum.
df returns the frequency resolution, in hertz, of the spectrum.
imaginary part returns the imaginary part of the cross power spectrum.
unit label returns the selected engineering units.
spectrum info returns information about the spectrum needed by the Spectrum Extended Measurements VIs, the Display VIs, the Distortion VIs, and the Single Tone Measurements VIs.
Note  You must wire spectrum info when performing extended measurements. Do not modify the spectrum info values. If you want to view the information, you can right-click the spectrum info wire and select Custom Probe»Spectrum Info from the shortcut menu.
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
averages completed returns the number of averages completed by the VI at that time.
averaging done returns TRUE when averages completed is greater than or equal to the number of averages specified in averaging parameters. Otherwise, averaging done returns FALSE. averaging done is always TRUE if the selected averaging mode is No averaging.

Each block of data corresponds to a single FFT block and has to be passed individually to the SVT Cross Spectrum (Real-Im) VI.
