Component: Delay (DSP)

Delay component

Allows an adjustable delay to be inserted into the DSP system

Examples

Here is a simple example file for the Delay component.

File:Delay.fcfx

The DelayADC component is used to set the amount of delay that the component provides 0-2550 samples in steps of 10 samples.

The Input ADC component is used to pass a variable value into the DSP chain to allow the delay to be simulated.

Here is a picture showing the scope response of the delay component.

Note: 8-bit PICs can only reference an array of up to 256 elements. Anything more then this will cause compilation errors. There is a workaround documented on the user forums on how to get around this limitation but it adds overhead to the rest of the program.

Downloadable macro reference

DelayTick

Passes a single value from a buffer into the delay buffer and spits out a delayed value at the other end

Parameters

This macro has no parameters

Return value

This call does not return a value

Delay

Passes an entire buffer into the delay buffer and spits out a delayed version of the buffer at the other end

Parameters

This macro has no parameters

Return value

This call does not return a value

SetDelaySize

Specifies the number of values in the delay buffer to allow the length of the delay to be adjustable during runtime.

Parameters

UINT Delay_Count

Return value

This call does not return a value
