Signal Subtract
Click here to return to the Basic DSP page
| The Subtract Block performs a subtraction operation on the input pins and outputs the difference result. (Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference) |  |
Input Pins
| Name | Format [int/dec] - [control/audio] | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input_Pin 0 | any - any | Minuend term |
| Input_Pin 1 | any - any | Subtrahend term |
Output Pins
| Name | Format [int/dec] - [control/audio] | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input_Pin 0 | any - any | Difference term |
Algorithm Description
A standard subtraction operation is performed. When the algorithm is grown new input pins appear. These input pins represent more subtrahend terms so that the resulting output formula is:
Output_Pin 0 = Input_Pin 0 - (Input_Pin1 + Input_Pin2 + Input_Pin3 + … Input_PinN)
Example
The subtraction block can be used along with other arithmetic operators to realize many typical DSP functions. It is a basic building block that allows difference operations to be performed.
The subtraction block can also be useful when debugging a schematic project. In the following example subtraction is used to compare the output of the Crossover Filter and two separate General 2nd Order filters set-up to do a cross-over functionality. By subtracting the two “low” outputs and the two “high” outputs, you can verify that both filters are the same if the resulting output in the Readback window is 0.
