Description:

Power Function block implements three different mathematical operations according to the parameter set. Figure 1 shows the Power Function Properties tab and the available functions.

Figure 1 - Power Function block dialog

The first and second function option, i.i. u^k and k^u respectively, require an additional parameter k to be defined in the dialog. The third function requires an additional input signal n. Figure 2 shows an example using all functions using parameter k=2.

Figure 2 - Different applications of the Power Function block

The Power Function block does not support complex numbers

The Power Function block cannot perform mathematical operations which result in complex numbers.

Figure 3 shows an example. Mathematically, the result should be

$\pm i$

but the Display block shows -32768.
