Chain function static characteristic





| Vector | C | ST |
in the palette on the schematic
The block implements conversion of the input signal vector by means of a single ambiguous nonlinear static characteristic being approximated by the chain function curve:

If the input signal has become less than x1 or more than xn that means that the relevant constant value is generated at the output of the block:

Where x(t) is the input signal vector, y(t) is the output signal vector.

Inputs

  • input - input signal.

Outputs

  • output - output signal.

Properties

  • Argument values vector – array of argument values xi;
  • Function value vector – array of output signal values yi;
  • Extrapolate boundaries - this option controls the behaviour of function beyond the domain.

Parameters

none

Note:
in order to implement vector processing, the converted signals must be "compressed" into a vector input signal by means of a typical block MultiplexerMultiplexer.
