Vector Rescaler

The Vector Rescaler block rescales the elements of the input vector by applying additive and multiplicative factors to each element. The block has different factors for each element.

Each element Input_i is rescaled according to this formula, where A_i is the additive factor for that element and M_i is the multiplicative factor for that element:

Making Values Permanent

When you choose make permanent from the block's menu, it saves the current scaling factors.

Configuring

When you choose configure from the block's menu, NOL displays this dialog, which lets you enter the dimension of the vector to rescale:

Enter a number for Vector Dimension, and select the Edit Scale Factors button to display the spreadsheet for rescaling the vector.

Here is the spreadsheet for rescaling a vector of length 4:

Enter values in the Additive and/or Multiplicative columns to add values to the current index and/or multiply values by the current index.

When you are done editing the vector, click the OK button in the spreadsheet, and click the OK or Apply button in the configuration panel.

For more information on how to use the spreadsheet, see "Using the GXL Spreadsheet to Edit Data".

Example

These are the scale factors for a four-element vector.

Here is an example of how it scales a vector.
