Memory Copy
Offset
Offset tells the block whether to copy the first element of the
data at the input address or value, or skip one or more values
before starting to copy the input to the destination. Offset defines
how many values to skip before copying the first value to the
destination. Offset equal to one is the d efault value and Offset
accepts only positive integers of one or greater.
Stride
Stride lets you s pecify the spacing for reading the input. By
default, the stride value is one, meaning the generated code reads
the input data sequentially. When you add a stride value that
is not equal to one, the block reads the input data elements not
sequentially, but by skipping spaces in the source address equal
to the stride. Stride must be a pos itive intege r.
The next two figures help exp lain the stride concep t. In the first
figure you see data copied withoutanystride. Followingthat
figure, the second fi gure shows a s tride value of two applied
to reading the inp u t whe n the block is copying the i nput to an
output location. You can specify a stride value for the output with
parameter Stride on the Destination pane. Compare stride with
offset to see the differences.
