Description

This block generates a step signal.

The output signal remains at its Initial value (a parameter) until simulation time reaches the Step time value. Then, the output jumps and stays to the Final value (a parameter).

Parameters

StepGenerator_0

NameLabelDescriptionData TypeValid Values

steptime

Step time

The time, in seconds, when the output jumps from the Initial value parameter to the Final value parameter.
Real value. Default is 1.

Matrix

iniv

Initial value

The block output until the simulation time reaches the Step time parameter.
Scalar or Matrix (Initial value and Final value parameters can have different dimensions), Real value. Default is 0.

Matrix

finv

Final value

The block output after the simulation time reaches the Final time parameter.
Scalar or Matrix (Initial value and Final value parameters can have different dimensions), Real value. Default is 1.
