This module reduces the linear input array of float values using a factor specified by the user. Output is the reduced array of float values.
| Name | Type | Description |
| in | float[] | linear array of float values |
| Name | Type | Description | UI Control |
| factor | int | factor to reduce the in-array | Field |
| Name | Type | Description |
| out | float[] | reduced array |
The size of the output array is defined by the size of the input array divided by the value of the reduce factor. If the division leaves a remainder this will be dropped. The out size is only the integer part of the division.
The values of the output array are calculated in a loop. Each value is the average of a group of float values. The size of each group is given by the reduce factor. The groups are taken from the input array.
Example:
in_arr[5] = {1,3,5,7,9}
factor = 2
=> out_size = in_size/factor = 5/2 = 2
out_arr[0] = (1+3)/2 = 2
out_arr[1] = (5+7)/2 = 6.5
=> out_arr[2] = {2,6.5}
If there are any values of the input array left they will be ignored.
in_arr
input array
factor
reduce factor
nout
number of values in output array
out
output array
Using the Read_Field you can browse a field which is transformed by extract_data_array to a linear array. Notice that the size of the output array is smaller than the size of the input array.
iac_proj/reducer/reducer.v Creates the IAC_PROJ.Reducer library.
iac_proj/reducer/red_mods.v Creates the ReducerMods library containing the low-level module ReducerCore and the parameter block ReducerParams.
iac_proj/reducer/red_macs.v Creates the ReducerMacs library containing the high-level functional macro ReducerFunc, user interface macro ReducerUI and the user macro Reducermacro definition
iac_proj/reducer/red_apps.v Creates the ReducerApps library containing the example application ReducerEg.
