Output from the machine<br />

The next fourteen pages show the machine’s output for specific settings of the amplitude bars on the rocker arms. In generating this output the<br />

machine was set to use cosines, except for the results on page 89 where sines were used.<br />

Description<br />

Cosines for all of the twenty frequencies that the machine can produce.<br />

The amplitude bars are set on the rocker arms to produce four different types of square waves.<br />

A cosine is sampled at twenty points and placed on the rocker arms. The twenty points<br />

span two periods, one full period, half a period and a quarter of a period.<br />

Arbitrary values are set on the rocker arms.<br />

A square wave is set on the rocker arms, but here the machine is set to calculate with sines.<br />
