>>Basics>Blocks>Signal Processing
The input signal x(k) is compared with n thresholds starting from the lowest. If the value of x
is greater than to the n th threshold the (n+1) threshold amplitude is given to the output. If the
input signal is lower than the smallest n th threshold, the n th threshold amplitude is issued.
The user must always define one amplitude more than the number of thresholds.
If x( k)
> THRES( n)
yk ( ) = AMPL( n + 1)
If x( k)
≤ THRES( n)
yk ( ) = AMPL( n)
THRES( n)
→
smallest threshold
Dialog Settings
«Number of Thresholds»
Defines the threshold number. Enter a numerical value (non-negative integer with or without
unit suffix) in the text box. Please note: You cannot define a variable or expression in this case.
Only a number is accepted.
«Threshold»
Defines the threshold values. Common parameter types. Click the «Value» field of the corresponding
threshold THRES[n] to define a value. Common parameter types. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression.
«Value»
Defines the corresponding output amplitude of a threshold. Common parameter types. Click
the «Value» field of the corresponding threshold amplitude AMPL[n] to define a value. Common
parameter types. Enter a numerical value, a variable, or an expression.
� «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.
