Using NullGenerator in value series preprocessing

Here's an example that uses value series preprocessing (This no longer works in 5.1 - the series operators have not worked well in version 5 as a whole)

<operator name="Root" class="Process" expanded="yes">
<parameter key="random_seed" value="-1"/>
<operator name="GenerateSeriesIOObjects" class="OperatorChain" expanded="no">
<operator name="Generate a sine wave SeriesIOObject" class="SinusGenerator">
<parameter key="number_of_values" value="2000"/>
<list key="frequency">
<parameter key="101" value="1.0"/>
</list>
</operator>
<operator name="Visualizer (2)" class="Visualizer" activated="no">
</operator>
<operator name="Convert into an ExampleSet" class="SeriesObject2ExampleSet">
</operator>
<operator name="Window into examples" class="MultivariateSeries2WindowExamples">
<parameter key="window_size" value="1002"/>
</operator>
<operator name="Add a label" class="WindowExamples2ModelingData">
<parameter key="label_name_stem" value="sinus_dim_1"/>
<parameter key="relative_transformation" value="false"/>
</operator>
<operator name="Delete the Id" class="AttributeFilter">
<parameter key="condition_class" value="attribute_name_filter"/>
<parameter key="parameter_string" value="sinus_index"/>
<parameter key="invert_filter" value="true"/>
<parameter key="apply_on_special" value="true"/>
</operator>
<operator name="Add an easier to read Id" class="IdTagging">
</operator>
<operator name="Change examples into seriesIO objects" class="Single2Series">
</operator>
</operator>
<operator name="ValueSeriesPreprocessing" class="ValueSeriesPreprocessing" expanded="yes">
<operator name="Branch" class="Branching" expanded="yes">
<parameter key="keep_only_last" value="false"/>
<operator name="Find the maximum frequency within each window" class="OperatorChain" expanded="yes">
<operator name="Split each example into 5 windows" class="Windowing" expanded="yes">
<parameter key="step_size" value="200"/>
<parameter key="window_size" value="200"/>
<operator name="OperatorChain (4)" class="OperatorChain" expanded="yes">
<operator name="DiscreteFourierTransform (2)" class="DiscreteFourierTransform">
</operator>
<operator name="MaxIndex" class="MaxIndex">
</operator>
</operator>
</operator>
<operator name="NullGenerator (4)" class="NullGenerator">
</operator>
</operator>
</operator>
</operator>
</operator>

This process does the following things
  1. Generates a set of examples each containing 1001 attributes
  2. Each example is converted into a SeriesIO object
  3. Each SeriesIO object is split into 5 windows each containing 200 values
  4. A Fourier transform is performed on each window and the index where the maximum is located is found
  5. The NullGenerator operator causes the maximum index for each window to be returned. This has the effect of returning the maxima for all the windows.
