slope in

Slope of signal.  Measures the rate of change per second of a
signal.  Formula implemented is:

out[i] = (in[i] - in[i-1]) * sampling_rate

in - input signal to measure.

In the example below a is quadratic noise, b first derivative line
segments, and c second derivative constant segments.
