| ControllerName | Bind this block to an OpCtrl block by entering the same 'Controller Name' as specified in the OpCtrl block The OpCtrl block controls initialization of the settings of one specific FPGA in the system. |
|---|---|
| DataOut port number | Enter the number of the DataOut port to be controlled by this block, in the range [1:64] for the VC707, TE0741 and TE0741 OP48xx FPGAs and [1:32] for all others. |
| Slot infos | This non-editable parameter displays the physical location of the digital input channels related to the selected DataOut port, as obtained from the parsing of the configuration file. |
| Maximum number of channels controlled by this block | This non-editable parameter displays the number of channels in one sub-section listed in the configuration file, typically 8. |
| Number of channels | Enter the number of channels for which data values will be returned at each calculation step. This number must be less than or equal to the value of the 'Maximum number of channels' parameter. The data transfer mechanism between RT-LAB and the FPGA does not allow the selection of individual channels in the sub-section of channels. The data returned by the block will thus correspond to the N first channels of the sub-section, where N is the value of the 'Number of channels' parameter. |
| Expected number of events per channel | This parameter controls the amount of transition data transferred from the FPGA to the RT-LAB model at each calculation step. If the value entered is a single integer value, it applies to all channels. The value can also be entered as a vector of values, each element of the vector specifying the number of events for one channel. This parameter is used to set the widths of the States and Times outputs. |
| Time unit | Select the time unit of the Times output values. If 'Time ratio' is selected, the Times values returned to represent the ratio of the transition time relative to the beginning of the calculation step, over the duration of the step. If 'Seconds' is selected, the Time values represent the delay between the beginning of the calculation step and the time of the occurrence of the transition. |
| Sample Time (s) | This parameter allows the user to specify the block sample time in seconds. The default value is 0, which specifies a continuous sample time (note that the sample time is borrowed from the separated subsystem) while -1 specifies an inherited sample time. A functionality block and its associated controller block must execute at the same sample time. |
