events

EventData

1

A stream of ‘burst’ events.

statistics

MultiChannelData <double>

1

A stream of nsamples-by-2 arrays with the signal test value (first column) and the threshold (second column). The number of samples in each statistics data packet is set by the statistics_buffer_size option.

threshold dev

double

6.0

for threshold multiplier. Same unit as signal standard deviations.

smooth time

double

10.0 seconds

Integration time for estimating signal statistics. Must be a positive number (sec).

detection lockout time

double

30 ms

refractory period after threshold crossing detection that is not considered for updating of statistics and for detecting events. Must greater than 0 ms.

stream events

bool

True

enable/disable burst event output

stream statistics

bool

True

enable/disable burst event output

statistics buffer size

double

0.5 sec

Buffer size (in seconds) for statistics output stream. This value determines the number of samples that will be collected for each data packet streamed out on the statistics output port. must be either equals or greater than 0.
