Gaussian Pulse

The Gaussian Pulse function () is the common bell-shaped curve (Gaussian function). It has a shape that is similar to a Gaussian (normal) distribution. The default Function name is gp1.

The Gaussian pulse has the same characteristics as the normal distribution: it is a pulse with a shape that is similar to a normal or Gaussian distribution as a function:

In the equation above, x is the input variable, x0 is the location (mean), and σ is the standard deviation. This function is a function of one variable (the time t, for example).

Parameters

Enter a Location value for the Gaussian pulse mean x0 (the default location is 0). Enter a Standard deviation σ of the normal distribution. The default is 1.
