Description
The Ramp block generates a signal that starts at a specified time and value and changes by a specified rate (slope).
The block's Slope, Start time and Initial output parameters determine the characteristics of the output signal.
Slope, Start Time and Initial Output parameters can be either scalar or vectors (generates multiple signals).
Parameters
| Name | Label | Description | Data Type | Valid Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
slope | Slope | The rate of change for the signal. Can be a scalar or a vector. Default value: 1. | Matrix | |
startt | Start time | The start time, when the signal begins to follow the slope. Can be a scalar or a vector. Default value: 0. | Matrix | |
initout | Initial output | Initial value of the signal (before the slope starts). Can be a scalar or a vector. Default value: 0. | Matrix | |
zc | Apply zero-crossing | Turn on zero crossing detection. | Scalar | 0 |
