Syntax

generateFilteringCode(PF)
generateFilteringCode(PF,fileName)

Description

generateFilteringCode(PF) generates a MATLAB® function in the editor that creates the branches of the parallel filter PF and processes input data through each of these branches.

If the filters in each stage support code generation, you can generate C/C++ code from this function.

example

generateFilteringCode(PF,fileName) generates code and saves the resulting function to the file specified in fileName. If the file name you specify already exists, its content is replaced.

Design a parallel filter with two branches. Generate a MATLAB function to construct this filter using the individual filter objects, filter signals using these objects, and sum the outputs.

Construct a dsp.ParallelFilter object with dsp.FIRFilter on the first branch and dsp.Delay on the second branch.

pf = dsp.ParallelFilter(dsp.FIRFilter,dsp.Delay)
pf = 
  dsp.ParallelFilter with properties:

          Branch1: [1x1 dsp.FIRFilter]
          Branch2: [1x1 dsp.Delay]
    CloneBranches: true

Using the generateFilteringCode function, generate a MATLAB function to construct this filter. You cannot generate C/C++ code from the dsp.ParallelFilter object directly, but you can generate C/C++ code from the generated function. The function is saved in a file called myParallelFilter.m in the current directory.

fName = 'myParallelFilter.m';
generateFilteringCode(pf,fName);

The myParallelFilter function creates a parallel filter and calls each branch object in turn.

type myParallelFilter
function y = myParallelFilter(x)
%MYPARALLELFILTER Construct a parallel filter and process its branches

%% Construction
persistent fir1 dly2
if isempty(fir1)
    fir1 = dsp.FIRFilter();
    dly2 = dsp.Delay();
end

%% Process
y1 = fir1(x);

y2 = dly2(x);

y = y1 + y2;
