# Earthworm Module: ewintegrate

Contributed by:

## Function

Realtime computation of integration of waveforms, useful for taking acceleration to velocity or velocity to displacement. Also allows filtering. (new in EW v7.4)

## Details

The ewintegrate module performs any non-empty subset of 3 stages of processing wave data (TYPE_TRACEBUF2) coming from the InRing defined in ewintegrate.d. Processed trace messages are written to the OutRing with their SCNs changed as specified in ewintegrate.d.

The three stages are:

- Debiasing, as is done in the debias module. It is a rolling-average filter whose window size (in seconds) is specified in ewintegrate.d; if no window size is specified, this stage passes its input unchanged to the next.
- Integration. If DoIntegration is not specified in ewintegrate.d, the result of the previous stage is passed unchanged to the next
- High-pass filtering, which requires both the order and frequency cutoff to be specified; if neither is, the result of the previous stage is passed unchanged to the next.

As in the debias module, the debias stage may cause some time delay at the beginning of each span of contiguous records, as it needs to fill the window to begin computing the averages used to debias the data; once the window is full, it can catch up and continue with little delay.
