rSqrt of Floating-Point Inputs

This example shows how to compute the rSqrt of a floating-point input signal. The Sqrt block has the following settings:

  • Method = Newton-Raphson

  • Number of iterations = 1

  • Intermediate results data type = Inherit: Inherit from input

After one iteration of the Newton-Raphson algorithm, the block output is within 0.0004 of the final value (0.4834).
