Any I/O Toolbox event stream can be selected as the input source.
The tool feeds one I/O Toolbox event stream named MDV<i>.
Multiplier/Divider Tool Operation
The Multiplier/Divider tool multiplies and/or divides the input rate by any rate conversion ratio – RCR – value in the range 0.001 to 1000.0.
The Multiplier/Divider tool measures the time interval between every consecutive input events and adapts the output rate accordingly.
The Multiplier/Divider is frequency accurate. The output frequency is strictly proportional to the input frequency provided that the input frequency is stable (or varies slowly). In such conditions, the Multiplier/Divider delivers M events for every D input events.
The Rate Conversion Ratio is configured as the ratio of two float numbers:
- The M value is defined by
MultiplierDividerToolMultiplicationFactor
. The default value is 1.0 and the value range is 0.001 to 1000.0. - The D value is defined by
MultiplierDividerToolDivisionFactor
. The default value is 1.0 and the value range is 0.001 to 1000.0.
The effective multiplication and division factors are respectively reported by MultiplierDividerToolMultiplicationFactor
and
MultiplierDividerToolDivisionFactor
.
