FeedbackTest ​

Computes the difference between two input signals.

The FeedbackTest component demonstrates a basic feedback mechanism by subtracting the value of one constant (2) from another constant (1), resulting in an output of -1. This illustrates the core functionality of a feedback control system where one signal is subtracted from another.

Usage ​

BlockComponents.FeedbackTest()
