rescale

Change scaling of fi object

Syntax

b = rescale(a, fractionlength)

b = rescale(a, slope, bias)
b = rescale(a, slopeadjustmentfactor, fixedexponent, bias)
b = rescale(a, ..., PropertyName, PropertyValue, ...)

Description

The rescale function acts similarly to the fi copy function with the following exceptions:

• The fi copy constructor preserves the real-world value, while rescale preserves the stored integer value.

• rescale does not allow the Signed and WordLength properties to be changed.

Examples

In the following example, fi object a is rescaled to create fi object b. The real-world values of a and b are different, while their stored integer values are the same:

p = fipref('FimathDisplay','none',...
		'NumericTypeDisplay','short');
a = fi(10, 1, 8, 3)

a = 

    10
      numerictype(1,8,3)

b = rescale(a,1)

b = 

    40
      numerictype(1,8,1)

stored_integer_a = storedInteger(a);
stored_integer_b = storedInteger(b);
isequal(stored_integer_a,stored_integer_b)
