Signal Combination

Signal functions or signal inputs can be combined easily. The following signal function shows how to invoke several signals so that they are processed at the same time.

Redirect the previous functions to the VTREG AIN0.

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Combine signals. Output is sent to AD Channel 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
SIGNAL void Combine_Signals (void)  {
  swatch (0.1);      // wait 0.1 seconds
  AIN0_Square ();
  swatch (0.006);    // wait 0.06 seconds
  AIN1_Saw ();
  swatch (0.003);    // wait 0.03 seconds
  AIN2_Sine ();
  swatch (0.0001);
}

DEFINE BUTTON "AutoComb", "Combine_Signals()"

Start debugging in simulation mode and drag the port into the Logic Analyzer. Open the Toolbox and click the button AutoComb to view the signal output:

It is even possible to mix two sine wave signals:

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Generate a Sine Wave Input
----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
SIGNAL void Mix_Sine (float freq1, float freq2)  {
  float sig1;
  float sig2;
  int z;

  z = 0;

  while (z < 10000)  {            // generate 100 mSec sine wave pulse

    // Generate 1. Sine Wave input signal
    sig1 = __sin (((states * freq1) / CLOCK) * 3.1415926 * 2);

    // Generate 2. Sine Wave input signal
    sig2 = __sin (((states * freq2) / CLOCK) * 3.1415926 * 2);

    // Input: 1. Sine Wave with 0.5V, 2. Sine Wave with 0.2V, offset 2.5V
    AIN0 =  (sig1 * 0.5) + (sig2 * 0.2) + 2.5;
    swatch (0.00001);
    z++;
  }
}

DEFINE BUTTON "Mix Sine", "Mix_Sine(300,2000)"

The signal function combines two signals and adds an offset of 2.5V. The first signal has a frequency of 300Hz and an amplitude of 0.5V; the second signal has a frequency of 2000Hz and an amplitude of 0.2V.
