More About
Computing Running Product Along Channels of Input
When you set the Multiply input along parameter to
Channels (running product)
, the block computes the
cumulative product of the elements in each input channel. The running product of the
current input takes into account the running product of all previous inputs. In this
mode, you must also specify a value for the Input processing
parameter. When you set the Input processing parameter to
Columns as channels (frame based)
, the block computes
the running product along each column of the current input. When you set the
Input processing parameter to Elements as
channels (sample based)
, the block computes a running product for
each element of the input across time. See the following sections for more
information.
When you set the Input processing parameter to Columns
as channels (frame based)
, the block treats each input column
as an independent channel. As the following figure and equation illustrate, the
output has these characteristics:
The first row of the first output is the same as the first row of the first input.
The first row of each subsequent output is the element-wise product of the first row of the current input (time t), and the last row of the previous output (time t - Tf, where Tf is the frame period).
The output has the same size, dimension, data type, and complexity as the input.
Given an M-by-N matrix input u, the output y is an M-by-N matrix whose first row has elements
When you set the Input processing parameter to Elements
as channels (sample based)
, the block treats each element of
the input matrix as an independent channel. As the following figure and equation
illustrate, the output has these characteristics:
The first output is the same as the first input.
Each subsequent output is the element-wise product of the current input (time t) and the previous output (time t - Ts, where Ts is the sample period).
The output has the same size, dimension, data type, and complexity as the input.
Given an M-by-N matrix input u, the output y is an M-by-N matrix with the elements
For convenience, the block treats length-M unoriented vector inputs as M-by-1 column vectors when multiplying along channels. In such cases, the output is a length-M unoriented vector.
Resetting Running Product
When you are computing the running product, you can configure the block to reset the running product whenever it detects a reset event at the optional Rst port. The rate of the input to the Rst port must be the same or slower than that of the input data signal. The sample time of the input to the Rst port must be a positive integer multiple of the input sample time. The input to the Rst port can be of the Boolean data type.
If a reset event occurs while the block is performing sample-based processing, the block initializes the current output to the values of the current input. If a reset event occurs while the block is performing frame-based processing, the block initializes the first row of the current output to the values in the first row of the current input.
The Reset port parameter specifies the reset event, which can be one of the following:
None
disables the Rst port.Rising edge
— Triggers a reset operation when theRst
input does one of the following:Rises from a negative value to a positive value or zero
Rises from zero to a positive value, where the rise is not a continuation of a rise from a negative value to zero (see figure)
Falling edge
— Triggers a reset operation when theRst
input does one of the following:Falls from a positive value to a negative value or zero
Falls from zero to a negative value, where the fall is not a continuation of a fall from a positive value to zero (see figure)
Either edge
— Triggers a reset operation when theRst
input is aRising edge
orFalling edge
(as described above)Non-zero sample
— Triggers a reset operation at each sample time that theRst
input is not zero
Note
When you run simulations in Simulink
MultiTasking
mode, reset signals have a one-sample
latency. When the block detects a reset event, a one-sample delay occurs at the
reset port rate before the block applies the reset. For more information on
latency and the Simulink tasking modes, see Excess Algorithmic Delay (Tasking Latency) and Time-Based Scheduling and Code Generation (Simulink Coder).
Multiplying Along Columns
When you set the Multiply input along parameter to
Columns
, the block computes the cumulative product of
each column of the input. In this mode, the current cumulative product is
independent of the cumulative products of previous inputs.
The equivalent MATLAB® code is
y = cumprod(u).
The output has the same size, dimension, data type, and complexity as the input. The mth output row is the element-wise product of the first m input rows.
Given an M-by-N input u, the output y is an M-by-N matrix whose jth column has elements
When multiplying along columns, the block treats length-M unoriented vector inputs as M-by-1 column vectors.
Multiplying Along Rows
When you set the Multiply input along parameter to
Rows
, the block computes the cumulative product of
the row elements. In this mode, the current cumulative product is independent of the
cumulative products of previous inputs.
The equivalent MATLAB code is
y = cumprod(u,2).
The output has the same size, dimension, and data type as the input. The nth output column is the element-wise product of the first n input columns.
Given an M-by-N matrix input u, the output y is an M-by-N matrix whose ith row has elements
When you multiply along rows, the block treats length-N unoriented vector inputs as 1-by-N row vectors.
Fixed-Point Data Types
This diagram shows the data types used within the Cumulative Product block for fixed-point signals.
The output of the multiplier is in the product output data type when at least one of the inputs to the multiplier is real. When both of the inputs to the multiplier are complex, the result of the multiplication is in the accumulator data type. For details on the complex multiplication performed, see Multiplication Data Types. You can set the accumulator, product output, intermediate product, and output data types in the block dialog box.
