Description

[Picture]

Gate inputs are used to feed gate signals from Simulink into a PLECS circuit or from a circuit into a subcircuit. If you copy an input block into a schematic an input terminal will be created on the corresponding subsystem block. The name of the input block will appear as the terminal label. If you choose to hide the block name by unselecting the show button in the dialog box the terminal label will also disappear. The Gate Input block can be distinguished from the Continuous Input block by the brown instead of a green output terminal.

Parameters and Dialog Box
