Bounded for iterator

Processes the requested prefix of an input vector through one scalar child, at a single sample time.

Behavior

Processes the requested prefix of an input vector through one scalar child, at a single sample time. Outputs are held between accepted samples; numerical evaluation does not commit hidden state.

Interface

Bounded for iterator interfaceInputs or arguments on the left, observed outputs on the right. Conserving terminals appear below the component. The tables give units and behavior.Bounded for iteratorStudio blockin0in1out0out1

Equations and rules

  • For i = 0 to N − 1: (state, output) ← child(state, input[i])
  • Optionally restore initial state/output before each outer invocation

Limits and interpretation

  • Control executes on an explicit sampled clock. Continuous states, history/delay kernels, residual equations, and event-source children are not supported.
  • The wrapper contains one original computation operation; arbitrary multi-block submodels are not supported.
  • A sampled child advances once per invocation using its own declared period. Repeated calls share the same outer timestamp and do not advance physical time.
  • The child has one scalar input and one scalar output. Only the requested prefix of the fixed input vector is processed.
