Owning Palette: Trim & Linearize VIs

Requires: Control Design and Simulation Module

Provides information to the SIM Linearize VI and SIM Trim VI about which parameter values to modify and how to modify those parameter values. The data type you wire to the Item Name input or the Value input determines the polymorphic instance to use.

Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.

SIM Set Parameter Value (by Name, Scalar)

	Parameter Type specifies the type of parameter. 0 Variable (default)—Specifies that the SIM Trim VI can change the value of this parameter to satisfy any conditions you specify. The SIM Linearize VI includes Variable inputs and outputs in the LTI model. 1 Static—Specifies that the SIM Trim VI excludes this parameter from the search. The SIM Linearize VI excludes Static inputs and outputs from the LTI model. This VI does not distinguish between Static and Variable states and state derivatives. 2 Fixed—Specifies that the SIM Trim VI uses the value of this parameter as a condition for trimming a subsystem. The SIM Linearize VI does not distinguish between Fixed and Variable parameters.
	Parameters In specifies either the States, Inputs, Outputs, or State Derivatives array that the SIM Query Subsystem VI returns. Name specifies the name of the parameter. Value specifies the value of the parameter. Static Input? is TRUE if the parameter type Static. Static Input? is FALSE if the parameter type is either Variable or Fixed. Vector? is TRUE if the parameter value is a vector or an array. Vector? is FALSE if the parameter value is a scalar. Fixed Size? is TRUE if you can replace this parameter only with a vector or an array of the same size. Fixed Size? is FALSE if you can replace this parameter with a vector or array of any size. Fixed Value? is TRUE if the parameter value is a condition that you specify for trimming a subsystem. Fixed Value? is FALSE if the parameter value is not a condition that you specify for trimming a subsystem.
	Item Name specifies the name of the parameter in the Parameters In array that you want to change.
	Value specifies the new value for the parameter in the Parameters In array.
	error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	Parameters Out returns the modified parameter values and types of parameters in the Parameters In array. Name returns the name of the parameter. Value returns the value of the parameter. Static Input? returns TRUE if the parameter type is Static. Static Input? returns FALSE if the parameter type is either Variable or Fixed. Vector? returns TRUE if the parameter value is a vector or an array. Vector? returns FALSE if the parameter value is a scalar. Fixed Size? returns TRUE if you can replace this parameter only with a vector or an array of the same size. Fixed Size? returns FALSE if you can replace this parameter with a vector or array of any size. Fixed Value? returns TRUE if the parameter value is a condition that you specify for trimming a subsystem. Fixed Value? returns FALSE if the parameter value is not a condition that you specify for trimming a subsystem.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
