Algorithm Object Properties

The Algorithm Object Properties Dialog Box includes all of the items found in the Block Object Properties Dialog Box with the following additions.

Algorithm String

This specifies the type of algorithm implemented by the Algorithm Object.  Manipulation of this field is reserved for sophisticated users.  Invalid data in this field can cause unpredictable behavior and/or crash the system.

These can be thought of as command lines for the Algorithm Object.  The first word specifies the type of signal processing operation the Algorithm Object is to perform, word(s) which follow specify parameters used for that operation.  For example, "Delay 6 50ms" specifies a delay line with 6 taps and a total delay of up to 50ms.  Many Algorithm Strings are documented in Devices.

Algorithm ID

An Algorithm I.D. is a unique identifier for an Algorithm Object in a View File.  A Control Object is connected to an Algorithm Object when the Algorithm ID specified in the Control Object Properties Dialog matches this Algorithm ID.  The Algorithm ID is given in hexadecimal format.
