Ramp

Generate ramp signal

 Description The Ramp component generates a continuous, real, ramp signal. The boolean parameter Smooth corners selects whether the corners are smoothed, the smoothness parameter, which can be varied from 0 to 1, determine the smoothness. If smoothness is greater than 0, the output signal has a continuous derivative. The smoothing interval is equal to the smoothness factor times half the ramp time.
 Equations If Smooth corners is false, the output signal is $y=\mathrm{offset}+\mathrm{height}\left\{\begin{array}{cc}0& t\le {T}_{0}\\ \frac{t-{T}_{0}}{{T}_{r}}& t\le {T}_{0}+{T}_{r}\\ 1& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$ If Smooth corners is true, it is $y=\mathrm{offset}+\mathrm{height}\left\{\begin{array}{cc}0& t\le {T}_{0}\\ {\left(\frac{t-{T}_{0}}{{T}_{r}}\right)}^{2}\left(\frac{2}{S\left(2-S\right)}\right)& t\le {T}_{0}+S\frac{{T}_{r}}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{t-{T}_{0}-\frac{{T}_{r}}{2}}{{T}_{r}}\right)\left(\frac{2}{2-S}\right)& t\le {T}_{0}+{T}_{r}-S\frac{{T}_{r}}{2}\\ 1-{\left(\frac{t-{T}_{0}-{T}_{r}}{{T}_{r}}\right)}^{2}\left(\frac{2}{S\left(2-S\right)}\right)& t\le {T}_{0}+{T}_{r}\\ 1& \mathrm{otherwise}\end{array}$ with $S=\mathrm{min}\left(1,\mathrm{max}\left(0,\mathrm{smoothness}\right)\right)\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{1.0ex}{0.0ex}}\mathrm{and}\phantom{\rule[-0.0ex]{1.0ex}{0.0ex}}t=\mathrm{time}$
