Peak Detector for jagged waveform

[racd]

HI to all NI Guru,

i have a problem on getting the correct peak for my waveform,

please help yourself to see the picture that i've attached.

i already try to change the width of the peak but i still got the red arrow value.

you can use the waveform simulator below to re-create the waveform shape.

it does not have to be exactly the same as my picture, but i just need to have a way so that i will only read the true value of the peak instead of the noise/false peak.

thanks

Hi racd,

what about using a lowpass (aka running average) to smoothen your waveform?

Then PeakDetector should only find your "real" peaks…

A peak width of about 0.8*one large division in your graph should come close to finding only the peaks you want.

As GerdW pointed out, smoothing can also help. If you try smoothing, be aware that the filter/smoothing process will introduce some delay in the peak locations.
