Signal Builder - Create and generate interchangeable groups of signals whose waveforms are piecewise linear

Library

Sources

Description

The Signal Builder block allows you to create interchangeable groups of piecewise linear signal sources and use them in a model. See Working with Signal Groups in the Simulink documentation.

Note   Use the signalbuilder function to create and access Signal Builder blocks programmatically.

Data Type Support

The Signal Builder block outputs a virtual nonhierarchical bus, scalar, or array of real signals of type double.

For more information, see Data Types Supported by Simulink in the Simulink documentation.

Parameters and Dialog Box

The Signal Builder block has the same dialog box as that of a Subsystem block. To display the dialog box, right-click the block and select Subsystem Parameters.

Examples

The following demos show how to use the Signal Builder block:

• sldemo_pid2dof

• sf_test_vectors

Characteristics

Sample Time	Specified in the Sample time parameter, accessible by selecting File > Simulation Options in the Signal Builder block Zero represents a continuous sample time. A positive integer represents a discrete sample time.
Scalar Expansion	Yes, of parameters
Dimensionalized	Yes
Zero Crossing	Yes
