Information

• The output is delayed by a fraction of the clock period, if parameter computationalDelay = true. The delay is defined by shiftCounter/resolution*interval(), where shiftCounter and resolution are Integer parameters and interval() is the time duration from the previous to the current clock tick. The maximal possible computational delay is one clock duration, and therefore there is the restriction that shiftCounter ≤ resolution.
• The output is limited, if parameter limited = true.
• The output is value discretized in the form of an Digital-Analog converter with a defineable number of bits, if parameters limited = true, and quantized = true.

Example

The following example samples a sine signal with an amplitude of 2.0 with a periodic clock of 20 ms period and delays it for 2 sample periods. The resulting signal is hold with the HoldWithDAeffects block. As a result, the clock of hold.u starts ticking at 40 ms. The output hold.y of the block is a continuous-time signal that is present from the start of the simulation. Before the first tick of the clock of hold.u, it is set to 0.5 (= the value of parameter hold.y_start). Additionally, the following effects are added to the hold block:

• The output is limited to +/- 1.9.
• A computational delay of half of a sample period (= 1/2*20 ms = 10 ms) is defined.

Due to the limitation of the output signal, the values of hold.u ≥ 1.9 are limited to 1.9.

If the hold output is delayed by one sample period, then the previous(..) value of the input is output, and the first tick is delayed by one sample period, as shown by the modified example from above:

Note, the computational delay of one sample period is defined by shiftCounter=1, resolution=1, as shown in the icon of the hold block.
