Hi all,
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I didn't find any discussion on the web or in the mailing list archives. The integrate block (e.g., blocks.integrate_ff) doesn't seem to operate as I'd expect.
What I'm looking for is a block that integrates from time 0 with no decimation. So, an input stream of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] would output [1, 3, 6, 10, 15], etc. A constant input K would generate a ramp with slope K. That's what I thought the integrate_ff block, with decimation=1, would do, but it does not.
The integrate_x blocks seem to only integrate over the previous N samples, where N = decimation. Therefore, with decimation=1, the integrate_x blocks simply relay the input to the output. If so... what is the point of that?
Is there any block that accomplishes a true integration as described above? It would be a quick block to implement in an OOT module but it seems like this is a basic function. Also, is the operation of the integrate_x blocks intended to be how it is? If so, it seems misnamed.
Thanks,
Joe
