butterworth: Apply Butterworth filter

Description

The butterworth method of Trace objects returns a new Trace where data in the @data slot have been modified by applying a Butterworth filter.

Usage

butterworth(x, n, low, high, type)

Value

A new Trace object is returned.

Arguments

x

a Trace object

n

filter order

low

frequency used in low- or stop/band-pass filters

high

frequency used in high or stop/band-pass filters

type

type of filter -- 'low', 'high', 'pass' or 'stop'

Author

Jonathan Callahan

Details

This method creates a Butterworth filter with the specified characteristics and applies it to the Trace data.

When only n and low are specified, a high pass filter is applied. When only n and high are specified, a low pass filter is applied. When n and both low and high are specified, a band pass filter is applied. To apply a band stop filter you must specify n, low, high and type='stop'
