Square Wave Generator
This is a simple function that returns an array of values that represent a square wave based on two essential inputs (total time and period) and four optional inputs (plot option, minimum amplitude, maximum amplitude, and resolution).
[f] = squareWave(time,per,plotChk,Amin,Amax,res)
Units are arbitrary, but time and amplitude are assumed.
The following examples illustrate its use:
[y] = squareWave(10,1);
OR
[y] = squareWave(10,1,1);
OR
[y] = squareWave(10,1,-1,1);
OR
[y] = squareWave(10,1,-1,1,1);
OR
[y] = squareWave(10,1,-1,1,1,1e5);
