Description
The Sawtooth Generator block generates a sawtooth waveform, with peak amplitude of +/−1, at regular intervals. The figure shows how the Frequency and Phase block parameters affect the output waveform.
Parameters
- Frequency (Hz)
Specify the frequency of the sawtooth waveform, in hertz. Default is
1e3
.- Phase (degrees)
Specify the delay of the sawtooth waveform, in degrees. When the phase is set to
0
, the waveform starts with an amplitude of−1
and a positive slope. Default is180
.- Sample time
Specify the sample time of the block, in seconds. Set to
0
to implement a continuous block. Default is0
.
Characteristics
Sample Time | Specified in the Sample Time parameter Continuous if Sample Time = 0 |
Scalar Expansion | No |
Dimensionalized | No |
Zero-Crossing Detection | No |
