«Input Signal»
Enter a quantity name used in your model sheet in the text box to define the input signal
(RLOAD.I, STEP.VAL, STATE.ST, VAR) or use the pin to connect a quantity. Please note: You
cannot use conservative nodes from circuits as input signal (N0002, GND).
� � «Use Pin»
If the box is checked, the input signal is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise
the value in the text box is used.

Discretization Element
>>Basics>Blocks>Signal Processing
The input signal is discretized with respect to the specified coefficient (quantification of the
signal amplitude). In other words, the minimum signal increment or decrement is always
equal to K.

«Discretization Quantity»
Common parameter type. 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.
