kitControl-Random

This component generates random numbers. The output is derived by multiplying a random number (that is greater than 0 but less than 1) times a variable multiplier plus an offset.

Random is available in the Util folder of the kitControl palette.

PropertyValueDescription
FacetsConfig Facets window (defaults to null units, a single decimal place, minimum=negative infinity, and maximum=positive infinity)

Selects units and configures how the value displays:

units defines the unit of measure fromacceleration to volumetric flow.

precision defines the number of decimal places.

min defines the lowest value allowed.

max defines the highest value allowed.

This definition applies to the Out property value for this component.

Outread-only number to a single decimal placeDisplays the random number.
Multipliernumber to two decimal places (defaults to 1.0)Defines a double value used to multiply by the random number (the random number is: >=0.0 but <1.0).
Offsetnumber to two decimal places (defaults to 50)Defines a positive or negative distance from zero that the wave's amplitude is centered on.
Update Intervalhours minutes seconds (defaults to one second)Defines the amount of time between output changes.
