FUNCTIONS OF THE BLOCK

It is simulate signal block. It has a provision to
change the offset, amplitude, phase and
frequency of the output sine wave.
It is a min max block. It gives the position and
value of the maximum and minimum of the array.

It is random. It produces random numbers

between 0 & 1.

It is an ENUM control.

It is used to convert dynamic data to array.

It is a property node. It can perform functions like

blinking the control output or disable it when not
needed, moving the block, controlling it by mouse
etc.
It is build waveform block. It builds a waveform or
modifies existing one. It can modify the waveform
by adding a delay or adding an interval between
each data.
It is used to time stamp.

It is get waveform subset. It is used to retrieve a

particular data from the waveform.
