externalActivation

External activation

Specifies if the block receives an external activation or inherits its activation through its regular input ports. If selected, an additional activation port is added to the block. By default, external activation is not selected. If External activation is selected, the communication with the PSIM simulation engine occurs only at event instants such as a fixed-rate event defined by an external clock.
