Maximum/Minimum Value at Time T
SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 233
«Name»
Defines the names for block intern variables. Enter the name for the internal variable.
«Equation»
Defines the numerical link between the input and output signal. You can use all variables defined
within the equation block, mathematical standard functions and names of the block input
signals, e.g. INPUT[0]. Please note: You cannot use variables outside from the equation
block.
� «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.

>>Basics>Blocks>Signal Processing
The block provides the maximum/minimum input signal to the current simulation time at the
block output. The defined initial value applies at the block output as long as the input signal
has crossed this value at least once. The component cannot be used with AC and DC simulation.
yk ( ) = Max(x(k)) ⋅ FACT , if x(k) > Max( x( k – 1)
) ∧ x(k) > Initial value
k = ∑h,
h Simulation step
yk ( ) = Min(x(k)) ⋅ FACT , if x(k) < Min( x( k – 1)
) ∧ x(k) < Initial value
k =
∑h,
h Simulation step

� «Function»
In the list, select «MaximumT» for the maximum or «MinimumT» for the minimum function.
«Initial Value»
Defines the value which applies at the block output as long as the input signal has crossed
the initial value at least once. Enter a numerical value, a variable, or an expression in the text
box to define the initial value at simulation start
