Detailed Description

Ramp filter limits the rate of change on input value by given MaxRate to produce output.

This CDP operator limits how fast a signal is allowed to change (limits the first derivative). The Ramp filter operator output value always changes towards input value but do it never faster than the maximum allowed value change speed.

Properties

Arguments

When operator is used inside a signal its default input is automatically tied to signal's InternalValue or previous operator's output. Its default output is automatically tied to next operator's input or to signal's Value. See also CDP Operator Usage In CDP Signals.

Example

Below is an example plot of 1 Hz Sine signal (cyan) and the same signal with RampFilter operator with property MaxRate=2.5 applied(orange):

Actual Processing Code of the RampFilter

unsigned int RampFilter<T>::Process()
{
  if (!d->dYdtMax)
    return STATUS_ERROR;

  if (d->reset)
    Init();
  m_output = d->filter.Calculate((T)m_input);
  return STATUS_OK;
}
