A typical application of the Integrate I/O is when measuring acceleration sensor signals. Integrating the acceleration signal will give a signal representing the speed. Integration of the speed will give the relative position.
Properties
To control the behavior of the Integrate I/O, several properties are available. These can be accessed through a popup menu which is shown when the I/O is right clicked in the Object Tree. The properties can also be accessed through its settings window which is shown when the I/O is double clicked in the Object Tree. To open the Object tree, click the Show object tree button.
By default, the settings window only shows the most used settings. When Advanced is ticked, the extended window with all settings is shown. See also the program settings.
Leak frequency
An ideal integrator integrates all frequencies in a signal. In practice, unwanted offsets can cause problems with an ideal integrator. Therefore the integrate I/O contains a leakage parameter, controlled by the Leak frequency property. All frequencies below the leak frequency will be suppressed.
