FFT Module

The FFT Module performs Fast Fourier Transforms on waveforms sampled by the Data Acquisition Module.

Overview

This module prepares the waveforms for input into other harmonics analysis and measurement modules.

NOTE: The registers and settings available in this module depend on the device or node you are configuring, as well as its firmware and template versions. Not all registers or settings are available on all devices or the Virtual Processor, and labels may vary.

Inputs

Source

The Source inputs to each FFT Module are factory-linked to the outputs of the Data Acquisition Module, and cannot be changed.

Enable

The Enable input is factory-linked and cannot be altered.

Setup registers

The FFT Module has no setup registers.

Output registers

FFT

The output FFTs can be linked to the following modules: Harmonics Analyzer, Harmonics Evaluation, Harmonics Measurement, Mains Signaling Evaluation, Power Harmonics, Symmetrical Components, Transient and Waveform Recorder.

Event

All events produced by the module are written into this register.

Possible events and their associated priority numbers are shown in the following table:

Event priority group	Priority	Description
Setup Change	10	Input Links, setup registers or labels have been changed.

The Event output register stores the following information for each ION event: time stamp, priority, cause, effect, and any values or conditions associated with the cause and effect.

Responses to special conditions

The following table summarizes how the FFT Module behaves under different conditions:

Condition	Response of output registers
If the inputs are not available	The output registers are not available.
When the device is started or powered-up (either the first time, or after a shut-down)	The output registers are not available.
