Featured Examples

Test Condition Block

Constrain input values. The Test Condition block forces the input value to be either 0 or 1.

Open Example

Test Objective Block

The use of two custom Test Objective blocks. The block "True" forces the output signal to be 2. The block "Edge" inside "Masked Objective" specifies that the output signal transition from 2 to 1.

Open Example
