Signal Generator

Component Type: Sensor (Subcategory: Simulation)

The SignalGenerator component can generate several output waveforms for component tests or other purposes like timing or event generation. Available waveforms are sine, sawtooth, rectangle and random signal data.

Output Port Description

• out [double]: The generated waveform is provided at this port.

Properties

• sendInterval [integer]: This value specifies the output rate in milliseconds. Please note that the output rate has to be fast enough to assemble the selected output frequency. For example if a frequency of 2 Hz is set, the send_interval should not be greater than 125 milliseconds according to the sample theorem.
• waveForm [integer]: The waveform types random, sine, sawtooth and rectangle can be selected.
• frequency [double]: The frequency of the output signal in Hertz.
• amplitude [double]: The amplitude of the output signal.
• phaseShift [double]: The output signal is phase-shifted by this value (in milliseconds).
• offset [double]: Amplitude-offset of the output signal (this value is added to each generated waveform value).
