Triggered Sample and Hold¶

This element has an analog and a logic input terminal. On the rising edge at the trigger input the analog input signal is sampled and the value held at the output until the end of the simulation or until the next trigger event is applied.

Before the first trigger event, the shape of the output signal is determined by the option Track before hold.

If Track before hold is enabled, the output tracks the input signal until the first trigger event is applied, otherwise the output signal remains zero. After the occurrence of the first trigger event, this option does not affect the output any longer.

Note the difference from SimApp's ordinary sample and hold element which samples and holds the input signal at every sample period.
