  • Event-Count Comparator block

Description

The Event-Count Comparator block records the number of nonzero inputs to the Data port during the period that the block is enabled by a high signal (the value 1) at the Int port. Both inputs must be scalars.

When the number of accumulated nonzero inputs first equals the Event threshold setting, the block waits one additional sample interval, and then sets the output high (1). The block holds the output high until recording is restarted by a low-to-high (0-to-1) transition at the Int port.

The Event-Count Comparator block accepts real and complex floating-point and fixed-point inputs. However, because the block has discrete state, it does not support constant or continuous sample times. Therefore, at least one input or output port of the Event-Count Comparator block must be connected to a block whose Sample time parameter is discrete. The Event-Count Comparator block inherits this non-infinite discrete sample time.

Parameters
