Description

The ToBase block is used to write data from Twin Activate into the base OML workspace. The specified variable is updated when this block is activated.

This block supports signals of all data types but integer and boolean data types are implicitly converted to double in the base workspace.

Unlike the SignalOut block, this block does not keep the history of the variable during the simulation. Only the last value of the variable is kept and make it available in the OML shell.

The value of the variable can also be read by a FromBase block in the same or another Twin Activate model.
