MATLAB Node in LabVIEW

MATLAB node is a special kind of formula
node in LabVIEW.
MATLAB must be installed in order for the
node to function.
MATLAB script can be imported or type
into the node.

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)

FFT is a fast algorithm that transform a
signal in time domain into frequency
domain.
FFT shows the frequency distribution of a
signal, which is a function of time.

Digital Filtering
Filters alter or remove unwanted
frequencies from the signal. Depending on
the frequency range that they either pass
or attenuate.
Digital filters perform filtering on digitized
signal. It is a useful tool for extracting
signal

Types of Filter
A low pass filter passes low frequencies,
but attenuates high frequencies.
A high pass filter passes high frequencies,
but attenuates low frequencies.
A band pass filter passes a certain band of
frequencies.
A band stop filter attenuates a certain
band of frequencies.
