merge

Scalar:

Matrix:

Block Category: Nonlinear

Inputs: Real, complex, or fixed-point scalars, or vectors, matrices, or alphanumeric strings. If x1 is a matrix, x2 and x3 should have the same dimension.

Description: The merge block expects a Boolean signal on x1. If the signal on x1 is floating point, it will be automatically truncated to integer. The block output will be the value presented on x2 if x1 is nonzero; otherwise, the output is x3. The letters b, t, and f on the input connector tabs stand for Boolean, True, and False.

The merge block is particularly well-suited for performing if-then-else decisions.

Label: Indicates a user-defined block label that appears when View > Block Labels is activated.
