Manual Switch (Simulink Reference)

Switch between two inputs

Library

Signal Routing

Description

The Manual Switch block is a toggle switch that selects one of its two inputs to pass through to the output. To toggle between inputs, double-click the block (there is no dialog box). The selected input is propagated to the output, while the unselected input is discarded. You can set the switch before the simulation is started or throw it while the simulation is executing to interactively control the signal flow. The Manual Switch block retains its current state when the model is saved.

Data Type Support

The Manual Switch block accepts real or complex signals of any data type supported by Simulink, including fixed-point data types.

For a discussion on the data types supported by Simulink, refer to Data Types Supported by Simulink in the Using Simulink documentation.
