>>Basics>Blocks>Math Blocks
The block computes the n-th radical of the block input signal and provides the result at the
block output. The radical exponent must be a positive natural number.
n
yk ( ) = xk ( )
Dialog Settings
«Radical Exponent»
Defines the radical exponent (fractional number). 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.
«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.

>>Basics>Blocks>Math Blocks
The block provides the discretized signal at the block output, depending on the sign of the
block input signal and the adaption factor.
