Ramp (Simulink Reference)

Generate constantly increasing or decreasing signal

Description

The Ramp block generates a signal that starts at a specified time and value and changes by a specified rate. The block's Slope, Start time, Duty Cycle, and Initial output parameters determine the characteristics of the output signal. All must have the same dimensions after scalar expansion.

Data Type Support

A Ramp block outputs signals of type double.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Slope: The rate of change of the generated signal. The default is 1.
Start time: The time at which the signal begins to be generated. The default is 0.
Initial output: The initial value of the signal. The default is 0.
Interpret vector parameters as 1-D

If this option is selected and the other parameters are one-row or one-column matrices, after scalar expansion, the block outputs a 1-D signal (vector). Otherwise, the output dimensionality is the same as that of the other parameters.
