Description

That block is an ideal Digital To Analog Converter. The regular output is computed with the formula :

$$\begin{eqnarray} y_{k} = u_{k}q_{k} + V_{{\rm min}k} \end{eqnarray}$$

with u the input, q the step and Vmin the minimum value of the output. u is understand as a vector of integer number where the number of bit per integer is defined by the dialog parameter 'Number of bits'. The input numbers can also be described with the 2 complement arithmetic notation.

Dialog box

• Step
  The step of the analog output value.
  Properties : Type 'vec' of size -1.

• Minimun output value
  The minimun analog output value where the convertion begins.
  Properties : Type 'vec' of size -1.

• Number of bits
  The length in bits of the digital input code.
  Properties : Type 'vec' of size -1.

• 2's complement (0:no, 1:yes)
  Unsigned input integer (0) or signed intput integer (1).
  Properties : Type 'vec' of size -1.

• Inherit (no:0, yes:1)
  Herits events by its regular input ports (disable the event input port).
  Properties : Type 'vec' of size -1.
