Source Blocks

The source blocks supply a number of useful functions above and beyond the sources provided with Simulink. For example, there are time measurement blocks and blocks to produce sigmoid trajectories.

Signals

Color Constant

Outputs a 3-vector of RGB color values.

Error Constant

Outputs a standard QUARC error code.

File Read

Reads a file from the local file system.

Model Argument

Outputs the value of a model command-line argument.

Repeating Chirp

Outputs a chirp signal (sine wave whose frequency increases linearly with time) repeatedly.

Smooth Signal Generator

Outputs a waveform whose amplitude and frequency may be changed without causing a discontinuity in the output and may be driven by inputs to the block.

String Constant

Outputs a constant string value.

Target Type

Outputs the type of QUARC target on which the model is running.

Sigmoids

Continuous Sigmoid

Generates a sigmoid trajectory from the current position and velocity to a target position. Trajectories are recomputed whenever the target position changes.

Sigmoid

Generates a Sigmoid trajectory from an initial position and velocity to a target position. Trajectories are recomputed at periodic intervals.

Triggered Sigmoid

Generates a sigmoid trajectory from an initial position and velocity to a target position. Trajectories are recomputed whenever the trigger input is fired.

Time

Computation Time

Outputs the time required to compute a Function Call Subsystem or task, measured using a high-resolution independent time source.

Date/Time

Outputs the current date and/or time.

Sample Time

Outputs the time between samples measured using a high-resolution independent time source.

Time

Outputs the current time measured using a high-resolution independent time source.

Status

Is Connected?

Indicates whether Simulink is currently connected to the model.

Is Stop Requested?

Checks whether a request has been made to stop the model.
