Artificial

Description

The Artificial energy source can supply current either constantly or as a sine/square wave (more waveforms can be implemented on demand) with adjustable current amplitude and duty cycle.

Parameters

Parameter	man./opt.	Value	Description
shape	m	const, square, sine	Either constant current, square wave (repeating i_high for t_high and t_high for t_low), or sine wave (with a period of period and an amplitude between 0 and i_high)
i_high	m	Current in A	Constant current value (const), value of high phase (square), amplitude (sine)
i_low	m*	Current in A	Value of low phase (square only)
t_high	m*	Time in seconds	Length of high phase (square only)
t_low	m*	Time in seconds	Length of low phase (square only)
period	m**	Time in seconds	Period of sine wave (sine only)
log	o	Boolean	Define whether logging is enabled (Default: False)

*Mandatory for square shape ** Mandatory for sine shape
