Step Signal
Generates the point-by-point value of a step signal.
Inputs/Outputs
reset
A Boolean that specifies the initialization of the internal state of the node.
| True | Initializes the internal state of the node by returning the output at time t = 0. |
| False | Does not initialize the internal state of the node. |
Default value: False
amplitude
Amplitude of the step signal.
Default value: 1
offset
Lower limit of the step signal.
Default value: 0
step time
Simulation time, in seconds, at which the output changes from offset to offset + amplitude.
Default value: 0
dt
Loop-cycle time or interval, in seconds, at which this node is called.
dt must be greater than zero.
step output
Point-by-point value of the step signal.
Algorithm Definition for the Step Signal
The following equations define the step signal:
where
- y is the step signal
- u is the lower limit of the step signal
- a is the amplitude of the step signal
- t is the current simulation time
