Description

This block counts with an increment/decrement value equal to one from Minimum to Maximum or from Maximum to Minimum depending on the choice of the Rule parameter.

Data types

• Output: scalar double.

Dialog box

• Minimum The lowest number of the counter. Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.

• Maximum The highest number of the counter. Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.

• Rule (1:Increment, 2:Decrement) The rule of counting :

  • 1: Counts from the lowest number to the highest number. The count is increasing.
  • 2: Counts from the highest number to the lowest number. The count is decreasing.

  Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.

Default properties

• always active: no
• direct-feedthrough: no
• zero-crossing: no
• mode: no
• regular outputs: - port 1 : size [1,1] / type 1
• number/sizes of activation inputs: 1
• number/sizes of activation outputs: 0
• continuous-time state: no
• discrete-time state: yes
• object discrete-time state: no
• name of computational function: counter
