Description

max_k outputs the local maximum (or minimum) value of the incoming asig signal, checked in the time interval between ktrig has become true twice.

Syntax

knumkout max_k asig, ktrig, itype

Initialization

itype - itype determinates the behaviour of max_k (see below)

Performance

asig - incoming (input) signal

ktrig - trigger signal

max_k outputs the local maximum (or minimum) value of the incoming asig signal, checked in the time interval between ktrig has become true twice. itype determinates the behaviour of max_k:

1 - absolute maximum (sign of negative values is changed to positive before evaluation)

2 - actual maximum

3 - actual minimum

4 - calculate average value of asig in the time interval

This opcode can be useful in several situations, for example to implement a vu-meter.
