Overview

Counts repeated input values

Discussion

This module checks for repeated input samples from a single channel. The instance variable .value is set to the last input sample value. The instance variable .count is set to the number of consecutive times that the input signal was equal to .value. If the last two input samples are not equal, then .count equals 1.

The argument OUTPUTVALUE to the instantiation function specifies whether the module has any output pins. By default, OUTPUTVALUE=0 and the results of the computation are only stored to the instance variables. If OUTPUTVALUE=1, then the module has two output pins, named .value and .count, containing the respective values of the instance variables.

When bypassed and OUTPUTVALUE=1, the module always outputs the last input sample on pin .value and sets pin .count to 1. When muted and OUTPUTVALUE=1, the module always outputs zero on pin .value and sets pin .count to 0.

Type Definition

    INT32 value;                                  // Equals the last input sample
    UINT32 count;                                 // Number of consecutive times that the last input sample was seen

 M=consecutive_count_int_module(NAME, OUTPUTVALUE)
 Audio Weaver module that the number of consecutive input values
 that are of the same value.  The module has two internal variables
 that are of note:
    .value - last input value to the module
    .count - number of consecutive times that the input was equal to
             .value.  If the input has just changed, then .count=1.
    OUTPUTVALUE - specifies whether the module has an output pin.
                  By default, OUTPUTVALUE=0 and the result of the
                  computation is only stored to the instance variables
                  If OUTPUTVALUE=1, then the module has two output pins
                  named .value and .count
 The module's input pin can only contain a single channel.
