Elements Palette

The Elements palette contains the following functions:

Logic Variable

The Variable and Parameter buttons can be used to create elements of type logic, limitInt, wrapInt, udisc, sdisc, cont, or enumeration.

Note

By default, the Limited Integer * and Wrap-Around Integer * buttons are displayed. To display the Signed Discrete * and Unsigned Discrete * buttons instead, the editor optionUse signed/unsigned discrete types must be activated.

Delta t

dt system parameter

Note

The name dT is reserved for the system parameter. You cannot create any other element with the name dT. Since upper and lower case letters are not distinguished, the names DT, dt, and Dt are reserved, too.

Array

See also Array and Matrix.

Matrix

Distribution

See also Group Characteristic Lines/Maps and Distributions.

OneD Table

The table buttons can be used to create normal, group, or fixed characteristic lines/maps, depending on the selection in the combo box.

See also Characteristic Lines and Maps.

TwoD Table

Combo box to select the type of the characteristic line/map

Input

Inputs and outputs are used for communication between the state machine and other components.
