Dialog Settings
� «Angle Unit» (Only for trigonometric functions)
In the list, select radians or degrees. The dimension is applied to the input signal.
� «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.
«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.
