Simulator Signals

The table below describes the signals or shapes that can be used for real-time simulator points. When using these signals in a simulator point name, you can use the actual name or the short name.

Points created using these signals are read-only.

Name	Short Name	Description
cosine	cos	A cosine wave.
ramp		Increases gradually until it reaches the high limit, then it drops to the low limit and starts increasing again.
random	rand	A pseudo-random signal. Its value is derived from the current time. See example
sine	sin	A sine wave.
square		Periodically alternates between the low and high limits.
step		Similar to ramp, but increases by steps instead of gradually.
triangle		Increases gradually to the high limit, then decreases gradually to the low limit, then repeats.
