=title Compress Record (compress)
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
The data compression record is used to collect and compress data from arrays.
|
||||
When the INP field references a data array field,
|
||||
it immediately compresses the entire array into an element of an array using one of several algorithms,
|
||||
overwriting the previous element. If the INP field obtains its value from a scalar-value field,
|
||||
the compression record will collect a new sample each time the record is processed
|
||||
and add it to the compressed data array as a circular buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
The INP link can also specify a constant;
|
||||
however, if this is the case, the compression algorithms are ignored,
|
||||
and the record support routines merely return after checking the FLNK field.

|

The ALG field which uses this menu controls the compression algorithm used.
|
||||
|
||||
There are six possible algorithms which can be specified as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* Circular Buffer
|
||||
* Average
|
||||
* N to 1 Low Value
|
||||
* N to 1 High Value
|
||||
* N to 1 Average
|
||||
* N to 1 Median
|
||||
|
||||
=menu bufferingALG
|
||||
|
||||
Selects FIFO (First in first out) or LIFO (Last in first out) insertion order.
