Description

The Ramp block generates a signal that starts at a specified time and value and changes by a specified rate (slope).

The block's Slope, Start time and Initial output parameters determine the characteristics of the output signal.

Slope, Start Time and Initial Output parameters can be either scalar or vectors (generates multiple signals).

Parameters

Ramp_0

NameLabelDescriptionData TypeValid Values

slope

Slope

The rate of change for the signal. Can be a scalar or a vector. Default value: 1.

Matrix

startt

Start time

The start time, when the signal begins to follow the slope. Can be a scalar or a vector. Default value: 0.

Matrix

initout

Initial output

Initial value of the signal (before the slope starts). Can be a scalar or a vector. Default value: 0.
