Variable: FFTAverageType

Variable: FFTAverageType

Specifies how DIAdem averages the amplitudes.

Definition FFTAverageType, Enumeration variable
Enumeration variable with the following selection terms
Script Term Interface Term, Explanation
"No"
No averaging
"arithmetic"
Arithmetic
"exponential"
Exponential
"PeakMin"
Peak minimum
"PeakMax"
Peak maximum
"PeakMinMax"
Peak minimum/maximum
"MinMaxAverage"
Minimum/maximum/mean

Valid settings

No
No averaging
arithmetic
DIAdem provides all n amplitude values to be averaged with the same weight factor 1/n.
exponential
The weighting factors increase towards the end of the averaging process exponentially.
PeakMin
DIAdem determines for each channel index the smallest value for all amplitudes
PeakMax
DIAdem determines for each channel index the greatest value for all amplitudes
PeakMinMax
DIAdem determines for each channel index the smallest and the greatest value for all amplitudes
MinMaxAverage
DIAdem determines for each channel index the smallest and the greatest value and also the arithmetic mean of all amplitudes.

If you calculated standard amplitudes or octave amplitudes in a time signal analysis, DIAdem averages the amplitudes types separately. DIAdem only saves the mean values in the result channel.

To determine the transfer functions spectrum H1 and spectrum H2 DIAdem averages arithmetically. You also can average the phases of the transfer functions of this type. This averaging is arithmetic too.
