Signal Builder

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

The Signal Builder block is not recommended. Use the Signal Editor block instead.

• Library:

• Simulink / Sources

• 

Description

The Signal Builder block allows you to create interchangeable groups of piecewise linear signal sources and use them in a model. You can quickly switch the signal groups into and out of a model to facilitate testing. In the Signal Builder window, create signals and define the output waveforms. To open the window, double-click the block. See Signal Groups.

Note

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

Ports

Output

Signal 1 — First output signal

scalar | vector | matrix

First output signal from the signal group currently visible in the Signal Builder window.

Data Types: double | bus

Signal n — nth output signal

scalar | vector | matrix

nth output signal from the signal group currently visible in the Signal Builder window. n corresponds to the signal index.

Data Types: double | bus
