Calling Sequence

Ramp( )

Ramp(slope, t0, y0, opts)

Parameters

slope

-

(optional) algebraic; slope of ramp; default is 1

t0

-

(optional) algebraic; delay to start of ramp; default is 0

y0

-

(optional) algebraic; initial value; default is 0

opts

-

(optional) equation(s) of the form option = value; specify options for the Ramp command

Options

• 

discrete = truefalse

Specifies that the output is a Vector containing samples of the waveform. Elements of the Vector are samples of the waveform. The number of elements in the Vector is given by samplecount. The i-th element corresponds to a sample at time t=(i-1)*sampletime. The default is the value of discrete in DynamicSystems[SystemOptions].

• 

samplecount = posint

Specifies the number of samples in the output Vector. It is used with the discrete option. The default is the value of samplecount in DynamicSystems[SystemOptions].

• 

sampletime = positive

Specifies the time between samples in the output Vector. It is used with the discrete option. The default is the value of sampletime in DynamicSystems[SystemOptions].

Description

• 

The Ramp command generates a ramp waveform.

• 

By default, Ramp returns a piecewise expression representing a ramp. If the option discrete is assigned true, Ramp returns a Vector of data points.

• 

The optional parameter slope specifies the slope of the ramp. Its default value is one.

• 

The optional parameter t0 specifies the time of the start of the ramp. Its default value is zero.

• 

The optional parameter y0 specifies the initial value. Its default value is zero.
