Count Peaks of a Square Signal Using LabVIEW

[LindsW]

Overview

This VI takes an array of values (square signal) and a user-input threshold value and returns the number of peaks in the signal.

Description

A square signal is input as an array and shown graphically on the front panel.  Based on the value of the user-input peak threshold, the VI will return the number of peaks in the signal.  Peaks will only be counted if they are above the threshold.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download the VI.
2. Replace the Sample data with your own data
3. Set the peak threshold value
4. Run the VI, and the number of peaks will be returned
