Description

The Variable Transport Delay block can be used to simulate a variable time delay. The block might be used to model a system with a pipe where the speed of a motor pumping fluid in the pipe is variable. The block accepts two inputs: the first input is the signal that passes through the block; the second input is the time delay.

Dialog box

  • Max delay

    It defines the largest value the time delay input can have.The value cannot be negative.

    Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1.

  • initial input

    The output generated by the block until the simulation time first exceeds the time delay input.

    Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1.

  • Buffer size

    The number of points the block can store.

    Properties : Type 'vec' of size 1.
