normalize input values in real time in matlab

To normalize input values in real-time in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Set up your data acquisition system (e.g., microphone, sensor) to continuously collect the input signal.
2. Create a buffer to store a portion of the input signal (e.g., 1024 samples).
3. Calculate the maximum signal value in the buffer.
4. Divide each sample in the buffer by the maximum value to normalize the signal.
5. Shift the buffer by the number of samples that have been processed (e.g., 512 samples).
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each new buffer that is collected.

Here's an example of MATLAB code that implements these steps:

main.m
% Set up data acquisition system (e.g., microphone)
fs = 44100;
recObj = audiorecorder(fs, 16, 1);
record(recObj);

% Set up buffer
bufferSize = 1024;
buffer = zeros(bufferSize, 1);

while true
    % Collect new buffer
    newSamples = getaudiodata(recObj);
    buffer = [buffer(bufferSize+1:end); newSamples];
    
    % Normalize buffer
    maxValue = max(abs(buffer));
    normalizedBuffer = buffer / maxValue;
    
    % Shift buffer
    buffer = circshift(buffer, [-bufferSize/2, 0]);
    
    % Do something with normalized buffer (e.g., plot, process)
end

This code collects audio data from the default microphone in real-time, normalizes it using the max function, and shifts the buffer using the circshift function. You can modify the while loop to include your specific processing needs.
