Check that gap of possibly varying width occurs in range of signal's amplitudes
The Check Dynamic Gap block checks that a gap of possibly varying width occurs in the range of a signal's amplitudes. The test signal is the signal connected to the input labeled sig. The inputs labeled min and max specify the lower and upper bounds of the dynamic gap, respectively. If the verification condition is true, the block does nothing. If not, the block halts the simulation, by default, and displays an error message.
The Check Dynamic Gap block and its companion blocks in the Model Verification library are intended to facilitate creation of self-validating models. For example, you can use model verification blocks to test that signals do not exceed specified limits during simulation. When you are satisfied that a model is correct, you can turn error checking off by disabling the verification blocks. You do not have to physically remove them from the model. If you need to modify a model, you can temporarily turn the verification blocks back on to ensure that your changes do not break the model.
Note: For information about how Simulink® Coder™ generated code handles Model Verification blocks, see Debug.
The Check Dynamic Gap block accepts input signals of any dimensions and of any numeric data type that Simulink supports. All three input signals must have the same dimension and data type. If the inputs are nonscalar, the block checks each element of the input test signal to the corresponding elements of the reference signals.
For more information, see Data Types Supported by Simulink in the Simulink documentation.
Clearing this check box disables the Check Dynamic Gap block, that is, causes the model to behave as if the block did not exist. The Model Verification block enabling setting under Debugging on the Data Validity diagnostics pane of the Configuration Parameters dialog box allows you to enable or disable all model verification blocks in a model, including Check Dynamic Gap blocks, regardless of the setting of this option.
Specify a MATLAB® expression to evaluate when the assertion fails. Because the expression is evaluated in the MATLAB workspace, define all variables used in the expression in that workspace.
Selecting this check box causes the Check Dynamic Gap block to halt the simulation when the block's output is zero and display an error in the Diagnostic Viewer. Otherwise, the block displays a warning message in the MATLAB Command Window and continues the simulation.
