Interval Test Dynamic

R2026b

Determine if signal is in specified interval

• 

Interval Test Dynamic block

To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.

Libraries:
Simulink / Logic and Bit Operations

Description

The Interval Test Dynamic block outputs true (1) if the input is between the values of the external signals up and lo. The block outputs false (0) if the input is outside those values. To control how the block handles input values that are equal to the signal lo or the signal up, use the Interval closed on left and Interval closed on right check boxes.

Examples

Detect Signal Values Within a Dynamically Specified Interval

This example shows how to detect when an input signal falls within a dynamically specified interval. The interval is defined by two Sine Wave blocks. When the input to the Interval Test Dynamic block falls between those sine waves, the Interval Test Dynamic block outputs true (1).

Ports

Input

up — Upper limit of interval

scalar | vector | matrix | N-D array

Upper limit of interval, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array.

Limitations

When the input signal is an enumerated type, the up and lo signals must be of the same enumerated type.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated

u — Input signal

scalar | vector | matrix | N-D array

Input signal, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array.

Limitations

When the input signal is an enumerated type, the up and lo signals must be of the same enumerated type.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated

lo — Lower limit of interval

scalar | vector | matrix | N-D array

Lower limit of interval, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or N-D array.

Limitations

When the input signal is an enumerated type, the up and lo signals must be of the same enumerated type.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated

Output

y — Output signal

scalar | vector | matrix | N-D array

Output signal indicating whether the input values fall within the specified interval. You can specify the Output data type as boolean or uint8.

Data Types: uint8 | Boolean

Parameters

Interval closed on right — Include upper limit value

on (default) | off

When you select this check box, the value of the signal connected to the up input port is included in the interval for which the block outputs true (1).

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: IntervalClosedRight

Type: character vector

Values: 'on' | 'off'

Default: 'on'

Interval closed on left — Include lower limit value

on (default) | off

When you select this check box, the value of the signal connected to the lo input port is included in the interval for which the block outputs true (1).

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: IntervalClosedLeft

Type: character vector

Values: 'on' | 'off'

Default: 'on'

Output data type — Output data type

boolean (default) | uint8

Specify the output data type as boolean or uint8.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: OutDataTypeStr

Type: character vector

Values: 'boolean' | 'uint8'

Default: 'boolean'

Block Characteristics
