Check that absolute value of difference between successive samples of discrete signal is less than upper bound
Model Verification
The Check Discrete Gradient block checks each signal element at its input to determine whether the absolute value of the difference between successive samples of the element is less than an upper bound. The block's parameter dialog box allows you to specify the value of the upper bound (1 by default). If the verification condition is true, the block does nothing. Otherwise, the block halts the simulation, by default, and displays an error message in the Simulation Diagnostics Viewer.
The Model Verification block enabling setting under Debugging on the Data Validity diagnostics pane of the Configuration Parameters dialog box lets you enable or disable all model verification blocks, including Check Discrete Gradient blocks, in a model.
The Check Discrete Gradient block and its companion blocks in the Model Verification library are intended to facilitate creation of self-validating models. For example, you can use model verification blocks to test that signals do not exceed specified limits during simulation. When you are satisfied that a model is correct, you can turn error checking off by disabling the verification blocks. You do not have to physically remove them from the model. If you need to modify a model, you can temporarily turn the verification blocks back on to ensure that your changes do not break the model.
The Check Discrete Gradient block accepts single, double, int8, int16, and int32 input signals of any dimensions.
Upper bound on the gradient of the discrete input signal.
Unchecking this option disables the Check Discrete Gradient block, that is, causes the model to behave as if the block did not exist. The Model Verification block enabling setting under Debugging on the Data Validity diagnostics pane of the Configuration Parameters dialog box allows you to enable or disable all model verification blocks in a model, including Check Discrete Gradient blocks, regardless of the setting of this option.
An M-expression to be evaluated when the assertion fails.
If checked, this option causes the Check Discrete Gradient block to halt the simulation when the block's output is zero and display an error message in the Simulink® Simulation Diagnostics viewer. Otherwise, the block displays a warning message in the MATLAB® Command Window and continues the simulation.
If checked, this option causes the Check Discrete Gradient block to output a Boolean signal that is true (1) at each time step if the assertion succeeds and false (0) if the assertion fails. The data type of the output signal is Boolean if you have selected the Implement logic signals as boolean data option on the Simulation and code generation optimization pane of Simulink Configuration Parameters dialog box. Otherwise the data type of the output signal is double.
Type of icon used to display this block in a block diagram: either graphic or text. The graphic option displays a graphical representation of the assertion condition on the icon. The text option displays a mathematical expression that represents the assertion condition. If the icon is too small to display the expression, the text icon displays an exclamation point. To see the expression, enlarge the block.
