Parameters
reduce
| Name | Type | Default | Range | Doc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | mean | mean | median | min | max | std | sum | norm | How the values along the axis become one: an average, a spread, an extreme or a total. |
axis | int | -1 | -8 … 7 | Which axis to collapse, negative from the end. -1 is time, -2 is channels. |
common
| Name | Type | Default | Range | Doc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
autotrigger | bool | false | Run on the node's own schedule, instead of waiting for an input frame. Turn this on for sources; leave it off for transforms driven by their input. | |
max_frequency | float | 0 | 0 … 100 | Rate cap for this node, read through `frequency_mode`. 0 means uncapped — the node runs as often as the scheduler and its inputs allow. |
frequency_mode | string | updates_per_second | updates_per_second | seconds_per_update | How to read `max_frequency`: as a rate in Hz (updates per second), or as a period in seconds between updates — convenient for very slow nodes. |
