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).

>>Basics>Signal Characteristics>Special Waveform Parameters
The macro provides the RMS (root-mean-square) value of a variable for a given interval. The
TSTART and TSTOP parameters can be modified (mostly periodically) by variable assignments.
So after each signal period an actual mean value is available. The beginning and end
time of maximum/minimum determination TSTART and TSTOP have to be within'0' and the
simulation end time TEND.

«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.
