How does the width parameter in the peak detector work?

[Shanti]

I would like to know how the window slides. For example if i take a width of 3. My first window is from 1 to 3. My next window will slide from 4 to 6 or from 2 to 4.
Thank you.

Madhuri,

Please Refer to NI Article at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/55181A206A523FD186256ABE00626EA9?opendocument

I have Used Peak Detetor in the past. One thing is the width function works on sets of Points.

It Performs a Least Squares Fit based on points you provide then extracts the quadratic Polynomial then checks this polynomial for Peaks using Parabolic Concavity.

I can be at best vague on how it does this. But my experience shows that you have to play with the width no to kind of optimize the peak detection for your dataset

If you can find additional information please post it here for others..

Good Luck
