Description

[Picture]

Gate outputs are used to feed discontinuous gate signals from a PLECS circuit back to Simulink or from a subcircuit to the parent circuit. If you copy an output block into a schematic an output terminal will be created on the corresponding subsystem block. The name of the output 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 Output block can be distinguished from the Continuous Output block by the brown instead of a green input terminal.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Width
The width of the output signal. The default is 1.
Port number
The terminal number of the output block. This parameter appears only if the block is placed in a top-level circuit.
