more about integration time

[Saint Mary's University]

If the DasyLab allows modification of the integral time and a precise control of the time increment, so
my additional questions are:
1. Where (how) the integral time and time increment
are defined in DasyLab package?
2. What has to be set-up in the DasyLab package to
have control over the integration time and a
precise time increment?
3. How easy are these procedureto implement in the
DasyLab?

1 - the integral time increment is defined by the sampling rate. This is defined in the Time Base dialog.

The integral time is continuous or block-based. You define the block size in the Time Base dialog. You can reset the integral based on data or program events using a control input to the Integral module.

2 - Set up the analog input to collect data at the desired rate. 1000 s/sec will have a 1 ms time increment for the integral. The 1 ms is multiplied by the amplitude, and added to the previous sum. Note that the integral is relative to the zero y-axis - the area under the curve extends down to the zero or up to the zero. Values below zero will yield a negative value, which will be subtracted from the sum. You may need to use Absolute V
alue to address this.

3 - We think that it is very easy to set this up in DASYLab. You have asked a number of questions about the specific integral function - yet you have not described how you need to use it. For example, computing the integral in the frequency domain is done directly in the FFT module!
