tomwalters@0 1 .TH STEP 1 "1 September 1993"
tomwalters@0 2
tomwalters@0 3 .SH NAME
tomwalters@0 4 step \- generate a step waveform.
tomwalters@0 5
tomwalters@0 6 .SH SYNTAX
tomwalters@0 7 step [options]
tomwalters@0 8
tomwalters@0 9 .SH DESCRIPTION
tomwalters@0 10 Generate a step up or down of given amplitude at a given shift from the origin
tomwalters@0 11 (start of waveform), and write the resulting waveform on the stdout in the
tomwalters@0 12 given datatype.
tomwalters@0 13
tomwalters@0 14 .SH OPTIONS
tomwalters@0 15
tomwalters@0 16 1. shift
tomwalters@0 17
tomwalters@0 18 The position of the step (up or down) relative to the start of the waveform.
tomwalters@0 19 The shift can be in samples (no units) or can take time units
tomwalters@0 20 (using the samplerate option).
tomwalters@0 21
tomwalters@0 22 2. amplitude
tomwalters@0 23
tomwalters@0 24 The height of the step.
tomwalters@0 25
tomwalters@0 26 3. polarity
tomwalters@0 27
tomwalters@0 28 The direction of the step: up (zero before the step and `amplitude' after)
tomwalters@0 29 or down (`amplitude' before the step and zero after).
tomwalters@0 30
tomwalters@0 31 4. duration
tomwalters@0 32
tomwalters@0 33 The duration of the output wave, including the shift to the step.
tomwalters@0 34 The duration can be in samples (no units) or can take time units
tomwalters@0 35 (using the samplerate option).
tomwalters@0 36
tomwalters@0 37 5. type
tomwalters@0 38
tomwalters@0 39 The output datatype. This may be any of: char, short, int, float, double,
tomwalters@0 40 ascii (meaning one ascii number per line).
