Signum

Library

Non_linear

Description

The Sign block indicates the sign of the input:

• The output is 1 when the input is greater than zero.
• The output is 0 when the input is equal to zero.
• The output is -1 when the input is less than zero.

Set block parameters
use zero_crossing (1: yes) (0:no)	1

• use zero_crossing : YYYY

• number/sizes of activation inputs: 0 /
• number/sizes of activation outputs: 0 /
• continuous-time state: no
• discrete-time state: no
