94 Part CCalculation Preset: IntegrateIntegrate Calculation dialogOptionThe online Integrate calculation offers two basic operations:Average over samplesCalculates the moving average (mean) of the specified number of samples. Additionalparameters (Rectify; Root mean square) add further functionality. Used typically, thesefeatures allow you to process EMG signals and will display the integrated (rectified, thensample averaged) or Root mean square calculation on the original raw EMG data.This option is useful for smoothing noisy data, real-time “integration” of EMG,real-time “root mean square” evaluation of EMG.Reset via channelPermits real-time integration of input data over a data-defined time interval. Perform areal-time integration over a potentially variable number of sample points. This feature isextremely useful for converting flow signals into volumetric equivalents. The integral offlow is volume. For example, when recording airflow with a pneumotach, volume can beprecisely calculated as the flow varies in a cyclic fashion. This option is useful for real-time conversion of flow signals into volume signals(Blood flow Blood volume; Air flow Air volume) and any processing involvinga need for a cyclic, continuous integral calculated in real time (Acceleration Velocity; Velocity Distance; Frequency Number of cycles; Power Energy).Visit the online support center at www.biopac.com
