Description

The Triangle Generator block generates a symmetrical triangle waveform, with peak amplitude of +/−1. The figure shows how the Frequency and Phase block parameters affect the output waveform.

Characteristics

Sample Time	Specified in the Sample Time parameter Continuous if Sample Time = 0
Scalar Expansion	No
Dimensionalized	No
Zero-Crossing Detection	No

Examples

The power_SignalGenerators example shows various uses of the Triangle Generator block.

Parameters

To edit block parameters interactively, use the Property Inspector. From the Simulink^® Toolstrip, on the Simulation tab, in the Prepare gallery, select Property Inspector.

Frequency (Hz) — Frequency of triangle waveform

1e3 (default) | scalar

Frequency of the triangle waveform, in hertz.

Phase (degrees) — Delay of triangle waveform

90 (default) | scalar

Delay of the triangle waveform, in degrees. When the phase is set to 0, the waveform starts with an amplitude of -1 and a positive slope.

Sample time — Block sample time

0 (default) | nonnegative scalar

Sample time of the block, in seconds. Set to 0 to implement a continuous block.
