Block Screenshot

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.
