y$(instance)Step Icon

Step

Generate step signal.

This component extends from Signal

Usage

Step(start_time=0.0, offset=0.0, height)

Parameters:

NameDescriptionUnitsDefault value
start_times0
offset0
height

Connectors

  • y - This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput)

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} y\left( t \right) &= ifelse\left( t \geq \mathtt{start\_time}, \mathtt{height} + \mathtt{offset}, \mathtt{offset} \right) \end{align} \]
