Overview

The Sign block will output a value that depends on the sign of the input. The block will output a 1 if the sign of the input is greater than 0, 0 if the input is 0, and -1 if the input is less than 0.

The configuration values for this block are as follows:

Subsample Code

A code which determines the schedule for updating this block (every sample, even samples only, etc.) See Subsampling.

The Sign block will output a value that depends on the sign of the input. The block will output a 1 if the sign of the input is greater than 0, 0 if the input is 0, and -1 if the input is less than 0.

The block has two user data fields (User Data 0, User Data 1) to store application-specific data for convenient storage and retrieval. See User Data Storage for details.

The block's update schedule is determined by the Subsample Code (See Subsampling). The following Parameter Dialog Box can be opened by double-clicking on the block in a Simulink Model:
