Clock
SourcesOutputs the current simulation time as a signal. Essential for creating time-dependent systems, lookup tables, or simply monitoring simulation progress.
Mathematical Model
Inputs & Outputs
| Direction | ID | Label | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ← Out | out |
Time | number | Output |
Usage Examples
Time Visualization
Connect directly to a uPlotDisplay to see time progressing linearly.
Remarks & Best Practices
- No inputs required — purely a source block.
- Output increases monotonically from 0.
- Useful as input for MathFunction blocks (e.g.,
sin(time)via Trigonometric).
