1 <h2>Description</h2>
2 <p>
3 Downsampling is the process of reducing the sampling rate of a signal. <a href="matlab:doc('ao/downsample')"><tt>Downsample</tt></a>
4 reduces the sampling rate of the input AOs by an integer factor by picking up one out of N samples.
5 Note that no anti-aliasing filter is applied to the original data. Moreover, a <tt>offset</tt> can be
6 specified, i.e., the sample at which the output data starts ---see examples below.
7 </p>
8 <h2>Syntax</h2>
9 <div class="fragment"><pre>
10 <br>
11 b = downsample(a, pl)
12 </pre>
13 </div>
14 <h2>Parameters</h2>
15 <p> The following parameters can be set in this method:
16 <ul>
17 <li> <tt>factor</tt> - decimation factor [by default is 1: no downsampling] (must be an integer) </li>
18 <li> <tt>offset</tt> - sample offset for decimation </li>
19 </ul>
20 </p>

24 <p>
25 1. Downsampling a sequence of random data at original sampling rate of 10 Hz by a factor of 4 (<tt>fsout</tt> = 2.5 Hz) and no <tt>offset</tt>.
