Inputs/Outputs

  • cdbl.png x —

    x is any real number.

  • idbl.png spike(x) —

    spike(x) is the value of spike(x) for the given value of x.

    • The following equation defines the spike function:

    spike(x) = 1, if 0 ≤ x < 1 and 0 elsewhere.
    Note You can define more complex functions by varying and combining the Step Function, Spike Function, and Square Function VIs, respectively.

    The following illustration shows the graph for spike(x) – spike(–x) in the interval (–4.0, 4.0).
