The timer control continuously monitors time during simulation. At each interval of time specified by its second input, it outputs a single value of 1 or true to any consumer components. The time is set in milliseconds. One should keep in mind that having an interval shorter in duration than the amount of time between simulation ticks may cause unexpected results. The enable input turns the timer on or off. The default value for the enable input is set to ON or 1. The default value for the duration is set to 0.5 seconds (500 milliseconds). The timer can function without any input based on these defaults.
Inputs: 2
Input Name:
Description:
On Off
Boolean input of zero or non-zero value that either enables or disables the timer. If this is zero, no trigger event occurs.
Delay ms
The time in milliseconds in between two consecutive trigger events. This is independent of starting and stopping the simulator. Calculation is made on transpired cumulative simulation time.
Outputs: 1
Output Name:
Description:
Event
Boolean single pulse response each time the Delay in ms has been acheived. Output will be 0 until event is triggered, at which time the output will be 1 for a single cycle of execution.
