Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This package contains source components, i.e., blocks which have only output signals. These blocks are used as signal generators for Real, Integer and Boolean signals.

All Real source signals (with the exception of the Constant source) have at least the following two parameters:

offset	Value which is added to the signal
startTime	Start time of signal. For time < startTime, the output y is set to offset.

The offset parameter is especially useful in order to shift the corresponding source, such that at initial time the system is stationary. To determine the corresponding value of offset, usually requires a trimming calculation.

Revisions

October 21, 2002 by Martin Otter and Christian Schweiger:
Integer sources added. Step, TimeTable and BooleanStep slightly changed.
Nov. 8, 1999 by Christoph Clauß, Andre.Schneider@eas.iis.fraunhofer.de, Martin Otter:
New sources: Exponentials, TimeTable. Trapezoid slightly enhanced (nperiod=-1 is an infinite number of periods).
Oct. 31, 1999 by Martin Otter:
Christoph Clauß, Andre.Schneider@eas.iis.fraunhofer.de, All sources vectorized. New sources: ExpSine, Trapezoid, BooleanConstant, BooleanStep, BooleanPulse, SampleTrigger. Improved documentation, especially detailed description of signals in diagram layer.
June 29, 1999 by Martin Otter:
Realized a first version, based on an existing Dymola library of Dieter Moormann and Hilding Elmqvist.
