Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

The Transport Delay block delays the input by a specified amount of
time. It can be used to simulate a time delay. At the start of the
simulation, the block outputs the Initial input parameter until the
simulation time exceeds the Time delay parameter, when the block
begins generating the delayed input.

The Time delay parameter must be non-negative.



Dialog box
~~~~~~~~~~






+ **Delay** The amount of simulation time that the input signal is
  delayed before being propagated to the output. The value must be
  nonnegative. Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1
+ **initial input** The output generated by the block between the
  start of the simulation and the Time delay. Properties : Type 'vec' of
  size 1
+ **Buffer size** The initial memory allocation for the number of
  points to store. Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1




Default properties
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


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