Description

The Manual Variant Sink block is a toggle switch that activates one of its variant choices at the output to pass the input.

The block can have two or more output ports and has one input port. Each output port is associated with a variant control. To change the number of output ports, right-click the block and select Mask Parameters, then type a value in the Number of choices box.

To toggle between the variant choices at output, double-click the block. The block displays the active choice with a line connecting the input to the output. The block propagates the active variant choice at output and discards the blocks connected to inactive output ports during simulation.

Note

Double-clicking the Manual Variant Sink block does not open the block dialog box instead it toggles the output choice.

Input signal passed to the active output port.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated | bus

Output

First variant output signal. The block passes the input signal to this output port when you connect the toggle switch to this port.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated | bus

nth variant output signal. The block passes the input signal to this output port when you connect the toggle switch to this port.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated | bus
