Output

To send measurements to the SFP output channels of the simulator, you first need to add blocks to measure voltage or current in your circuit model.

...

• Select the block to be used for measurement (in the example below, a

  Voltmeter

  voltmeter).

• In

  the 

  the Parameters

   sidebar

   sidebar, hover over the parameter to be used for measurement.

  • An arrow appears on the right.

  • Click that arrow to open the Deep Panel.

• The Deep Panel includes a list of connections. For most blocks, you will already find a connection to Simulink, added by default when dropping the block onto the diagram.

• Click the '+' card to add a new connection.

• Next, click

  the 

  the SFP

   button

   button to add a new analog output to the block.

• The destination pin along with other features can be edited once the new connection card shows up.

Remove a Connection

• Open the Deep Panel to display the connections of a parameter.

• Hover over the card of the connection to be removed.

  • A Delete icon appears.

• Click the icon to remove the connection.

...

• You can change the Gain or the Offset of the measured value. 

• The output is a purely digital signal so there are no limits to the signal amplitude.

• In the Parameters sidebar, change the Gain of the measured voltage or current.

• Entering a Gain of 2, for example, doubles the value sent to the SFP output channel.
