Compute the Minimum

Compute the minimum of a 3-by-2 matrix input, dsp_examples_u, using the Minimum block.

Open the model.

model = 'ex_minimum_ref';
open_system(model)

The Mode parameter of the Minimum block is set to Value and Index. The block processes the input as a two-channel signal with a frame size of three.

Run the model. Display the input and output values.

disp(dsp_examples_u)
disp('Minimum Values')
disp(min_val)
disp('Min Index Array')
disp(min_index)

In the Value and Index mode, the block outputs:

  • The minimum value over each frame of data along the channel.

  • The index of the minimum value in the respective frame.

Close the model.
