256 Using Signal Characteristics
Maximum/Minimum within Interval
>>Basics>Signal Characteristics>General Parameters
The macro provides the maximum/minimum value of a input signal for a given interval. The
beginning and end time of maximum/minimum determination TSTART and TSTOP have to be
within'0' and the simulation end time TEND.
yt () = MAX/MIN(x(t)) TSTART < t < TSTOP

«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.
«Start Time [s]»«Stop Time [s]»
Common parameter type. Enter a numerical value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
The specified start time (for beginning of calculation) has to be less than the end time (for end
of calculation).

Period Determination
>>Basics>Signal Characteristics>General Parameters
The macro provides the time interval between two successive, but otherwise independent upcoming
events. Please note: The first event (condition) has to become true before the second.
The first event (condition), must be true for beginning of timing; the second for end.
T =
t( STOPEVENT)
– t( STARTEVENT)

Logical parameter type. Enter a numerical value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
The expression is interpreted as TRUE if the provided value is '1'. Otherwise the value is
FALSE. The expression must be compliant to the SML syntax rules. See also “Equations, Expressions,
and Variables” on page 32.
