blockEventClock

Generate a clock signal when the Boolean input changes from false to true

Extends from Clocked.ClockSignals.Interfaces.PartialClock (Icon, connector, and solver method of a block that generates a clock).

Information

This component generates a clock signal triggered by a continuous-time Boolean input signal u: Whenever the Boolean input signal u changes from false to true, then the output clock signal y ticks.

For an introduction to clocks see UsersGuide.Clocks.

If a clock is associated to a clocked continuous-time partition, then an integrator has to be defined that is used to integrate the partition from the previous to the current clock tick. This is performed by setting parameter useSolver = true and defining the integration method as String with parameter solver. Both parameters are in tab Advanced. For an example, see Examples.Systems.ControlledMixingUnit.
