Constant

Provides a constant output signal of value k.

Generates a constant signal that doesn't change over time. The output y is always equal to the parameter k, regardless of simulation time or system state. This is often used as a reference signal, bias term, or fixed input to other components in a control system or simulation.

Usage

Constant(k)

Parameters:

NameDescriptionUnitsDefault value
kThe constant value to output

Connectors

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

Behavior

y(t)=k
