Overshoot and Undershoot (DBL)

This instance operates on the waveform data type when the Y data values are double-precision, floating-point numeric values. Use the I8 instance of this VI with integer data to reduce the size of the data and the memory usage.

Overshoot and Undershoot Details

The following illustration shows the overshoot and undershoot in a single negative transition.

The following illustration shows the overshoot and undershoot in a single positive transition.

Pre-transition Measurements

To calculate pre-transition overshoot and undershoot for each transition, LabVIEW searches for a local minimum and maximum in the pre-transition aberration region immediately preceding the beginning of the transition. The pre-transition aberration region is defined as the minimum of 3*(end time – start time) and (current transition start time – previous transition end time) / 2. If the transition to measure is the first in the waveform, the interval is defined as the minimum of 3*(end time – start time) and (start time – beginning of the waveform).

If slope is falling, LabVIEW calculates the pre-transition undershoot using the following equation:

If slope is rising, LabVIEW calculates the pre-transition undershoot using the following equation:

If slope is falling, LabVIEW calculates the pre-transition overshoot using the following equation:

If slope is rising, LabVIEW calculates the pre-transition overshoot using the following equation:

where the state levels and amplitude are defined in the transitions input.

Post-transition Measurements

To calculate post-transition undershoot and overshoot for each transition, LabVIEW searches for a local minimum and maximum in the post-transition aberration region immediately following the end of the transition. The post-transition aberration region is defined as the minimum of 3*(end time – start time) and (next transition start time – current transition end time) / 2. If the transition to measure is the last in the waveform, the interval is defined as the minimum of 3*(end time – start time) and (end of the waveform – end time).

If slope is falling, LabVIEW calculates the post-transition undershoot using the following equation:

If slope is rising, LabVIEW calculates the post-transition undershoot using the following equation:

If slope is falling, LabVIEW calculates the post-transition overshoot using the following equation:

If slope is rising, LabVIEW calculates the post-transition overshoot using the following equation:

where the state levels and amplitude are defined in the transitions input.
