Cross correlation for 5 signals

Hi folks,

I want to cross correlate 5 signals with constant delay. So I want the
function:

Corr(\tau)= \int(f1(t)*f2(t+\tau)*f3(t+2*tau)*f4(t+3*\tau)*f5(t+4*\tau))dt

Has anyone already written a vi like this? Would it be much faster if
I'd write it in C and would use the "Call Library Function"?

come and join us for skiing in Davos, Felix

Felix,
What do you mean by "cross correlate signals?" What kind of signals do you have, are they related?
If you already have all of the values used in the function and are just concerned on how to implement this function into LabVIEW, you can use one of the Mathematics>>Formula VIs.

Yes, the 5 signals are related in the sense that they are similar but
time shifted. Using the cross correlation I want to calculate the
thime shift. The problem is that we have a lot of data. We sample 25
channels with 50 kHz in total. I was concerned about the velocity of
the vi and a simple handling.

Thanks Felix
