getting 1hertz data from 10 hertz

Hi,

I have a 10htz data file. I want to convert that into 1htz. Is there an easy way to downshift the points.

for example: Time 0.1, 0.2, -- -- -- 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, -- -- 1.9, 2.0.

I want my output to be just 1, 2, 3, --

There is an easier function in matlab called downsample. That works for me ..

Thanks....!!!

You can get what you asked for (in the second half of your question) from your signal like this:

newSignal = signal(10:10:end);

Of course subsampling a signal speeds it up because the time is now shorter, if you're using the same time scale. Instead of a sound playing in (say) 100 seconds, it will now play the complete sound in only 10 seconds - ten times faster than before. To make a signal be 1 Hz instead of 10 Hz on the same time scale you need to stretch things out - add samples, not get rid of them.

Matlab has a simple function called downsample.....That helped but thanks a lot for replying.

Yes, if you have the Signal Processing Toolbox you can use downsample() though I don't know why you'd need a function to do such a simple thing.
