Instruction to use the applet

  1. Define the mother wavelet you want to use : choose its B-Spline order and the number of points of its B-Spline description.
  2. Define the minimum scale and the scale-step. The CWT is computed over 256 uniformly dispersed scales.
  3. Choose wether you want to compute a real or a complex (Gabor like) CWT. In case you choose a complex CWT, the choice 'number of points' is irrelevant, and you can define the frequency of the modulating exponential.
  4. Choose the input signal you want to analyze
  5. Press the 'Run CWT' button. During computations, the 'Running' message is displayed. Once computations are done, the 'Ready' message is displayed.

The computation consists in 256 cwt's carried on a 256-samples signal. In case of a complex CWT, 2 transforms are carried respectively on the real and on the imaginary part of the modulated signal .. Be patient, it may take several seconds, depending on the power of your computer!
