Change-Rate Limiting

The signal samples of a binary signal trace can be processed with a change-rate limiting algorithm.

Limiting Change-Rates

You can limit the on-state and off-state change-rate of the binary signal samples by the number of samples to delay (supress) the change to the on-state, and by the number of samples to delay (supress) the change to the off-state by calling the method delay().

A new Trace instance labeled with the performed transformation 'delay' is returned.

>>> # change-rate limited binary signal samples
>>> Trace('Signal', [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]).delay(1, 1)
Trace(label='Signal:delay', samples=[0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0])

Delaying On-State

You can delay the on-state of the binary signal samples by the number of samples to delay (supress) the change to the on-state by calling the method delay().

A new Trace instance labeled with the performed transformation 'delay' is returned.

>>> # on-state filtered/delayed binary signal samples
>>> Trace('Signal', [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]).delay(on=1)
Trace(label='Signal:delay', samples=[0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])

Delaying Off-State

You can delay the off-state of the binary signal samples by the number of samples to delay (supress) the change to the off-state by calling the method delay().

A new Trace instance labeled with the performed transformation 'delay' is returned.

>>> # off-state filtered/delayed binary signal samples
>>> Trace('Signal', [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0]).delay(off=1)
Trace(label='Signal:delay', samples=[0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1])
