Information

Block SampleClock defines options for all components of the Controllers library that are on the same or on a lower level as the sampleClock component. In every block, the default defined in SampleClock can be changed. The following options are available:

With parameter initType the initialization of the blocks is defined. Default is steady state initialization (both for continuous and for discrete blocks). With parameter blockType the default block type is defined (continuous or discrete). If the discrete block type is selected, the discretization method is defined via parameter methodType and the basic (periodic) sample time via parameter sampleTime. In every block, the input and output signals are sampled by sampleTime or an integer multiple of sampleTime.

In the Advanced Options menu of every block the following parameters are present:

Parameters blockType, methodType and initType can be used to overwrite the default option defined in SampleClock. The sampleFactor defines the integer multiple of the base sample time of SampleClock that is used for the sampling of the input and output signals of this block.
