Phase Shift AC Analysis [deg] AC_PHASE real
>>Basics>Blocks>Source Blocks
The block provides a signal which changes at time t=T0 instantly from zero to the specified
amplitude K.
yk ( ) = 0 for t < T0
yk ( ) = AMPL for t ≥ T0
Dialog Settings
«Step time»
Defines the step time T0. Enter a numerical value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
A value lower than '0' is considered as '0'.
«Amplitude»
Defines the amplitude. Enter a numerical value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
� «Sample Time»
Select «System» for simulator-defined variable sample time. Select «Value» to define a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
Please note: The sample time must be a positive value.
� � «Use Pin»
If the box is checked, the sample time is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise
the value in the text box is used.
AC Parameters
� «Phase & Magnitude»
The Phase/Magnitude representation is selected. Common parameter types. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box. See also “AC Simulation Models” on
page 401.
� «Angular Dimension»
In the list, select radians or degrees for the angular dimension of the phase.
� «Real & Imaginary»
The Real/Imaginary representation is selected. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
