SinusGenerator

This simulation component outputs a configurable sinus signal.

When to use

Use this simulation component if you want to output a configurable sinus signal.

How to use

Add this simulation component from the simulation component library. Define the properties Amplitude, Frequency, Mean and PhaseOffset and start the simulation to generate the signal.

Note

The SinusGenerator outputs a sinus signal only if the simulation is running.

Parameters

Amplitude

Indicates the amplitude of the sinus signal.

Frequency

Indicates the frequency of the sinus signal in Hz.

Mean

Indicates the constant value added to the sinus signal. Also known as bias.

PhaseOffset

Indicates the phase offset (shift) of the sinus signal in degrees.

Outputs

Signal

Outputs the waveform by the given formula: Signal = Amplitude * sin (2 * PI * Frequency * SimulationTimeInSeconds + PhaseOffset * PI/180) + Mean

Example

In this example, the generated output Signal is recorded by the FileLogger simulation component, which logs the input data into a csv-File.

The defined parameters of the sinus signal are shown in the picture below.

In the chart below, which is created within the *.csv-File, the periodic generated oscillation with an Amplitude of 1, a Frequency of 1 Hz, a Bias of 0.5 and a PhaseOffset of 90 degrees is shown.
