Pulse TimeSeries
This command is used to construct a TimeSeries object in which the load factor is some pulse function of the time in the domain.
timeSeries Pulse $tag $tStart $tFinish $period <-width $pulseWidth> <-shift $shift> <-factor $cFactor>
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $tag | integer | unique tag among TimeSeries objects |
| $tStart | float | starting time of non-zero load factor |
| $tEnd | float | ending time of non-zero load factor |
| $period | float | characteristic period of pulse |
| $pulseWidth | float | pulse width as a fraction of the period (optional: default = 0.5) |
| $shift | float | phase shift in seconds (optional: default = 0.0) |
| $cFactor | float | the load amplification factor (optional: default = 1.0) |
Example:
The following code demonstrates how user would create a trigonemtric time series with a tag of 1, has a start time of 0.0, an end time of 10.0, a period of 1.0, and a max load factor of 2.0.
- Tcl Code
timeSeries Pulse 1 0.0 10.0 1.0 -factor 2.0
- Python Code
timSeries('Pulse', 1, 0.0, 10.0, 1.0, '-factor', 2.0)
