Overview

The Differentiator block calculates smoothed derivative of the input.

diff

The following parameters are used to configure this block:

Ksm	Smoothing parameter. 0 = no smoothing.
Subsample Code	A code which determines the schedule for updating this block (every sample, even samples only, etc.) See Subsampling.
User Data 0	Application-specific data. See User Data Storage.
User Data 1	Application-specific data. See User Data Storage.

Simulink Interface

diff sim1

The Output of a Differentiator block is the derivative of the input. The derivative is passed through a smoothing filter.

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:
