(8.D.2.5) BlockExtract

Overview

Extracts a range of samples from a block of data. Can also zero pad the signal at the start or end.

Discussion

This module outputs a range of samples between the STARTINDEX and ENDINDEX arguments to the function. The module can be used to output a subset of the samples of a signal or to zero pad at the start or end of the buffer.

Typically, STARTINDEX and ENDINDEX are in the range [0 blockSize-1], where blockSize represents the number of samples on the input pin. The module outputs samples in the range STARTINDEX to ENDINDEX exclusively. The output pin has a blockSize of ENDINDEX-STARTINDEX+1 samples.

If you set STARTINDEX < 0, then the module will prepend a total of -STARTINDEX zeros to the buffer. Similarly, if you set ENDINDEX > blockSize-1, then the module will append ENDINDEX-blockSize+1 zeros to the end of the buffer. In all cases, the blockSize of the output pin is ENDINDEX-STARTINDEX+1 samples.

The module works on multichannel signals and supports real or complex data.

MATLAB Usage

File Name: block_extract_module.m

M=block_extract_module(NAME, STARTINDEX, ENDINDEX) Creates a block extract module for use in the Audio Weaver environment. The module outputs the subset of samples between STARTINDEX and ENDINDEX to the output pin. The module works with mono or multichannel signals and supports time domain and complex frequency domain buffers. The output of the module will contain a total of ENDINDEX-STARTINDEX+1 samples. Let blockSize represent the number of samples per channel on the input wire. Typically, STARTINDEX and ENDINDEX are in the range [0 blockSize-1] and the module outputs a subset of samples. If you set STARTINDEX < 0, then the module prepends -STARTINDEX samples to the start of the buffer. Similarly, if you set ENDINDEX > (blockSize-1), then the module appends ENDINDEX-blockSize+1 samples at the end of the buffer. Arguments: NAME - name of the module. STARTINDEX - start index (zero based) of the data to extract. ENDINDEX - end index (zero based) of the data to extract. The output pin will have the same number of channels as the input pin.
