The (discrete) output y is obtained by sampling every samplingPeriod starting at modelSettings.modelStartTime + offsetStartTime from the input u.

The parameter init in the Advanced tab allows to select →InitializationOptions:
- FixedValue (default) will use the parameter initialValue to determine the initial output y to be given before the sampling starts.
- SteadyState will set the initial output y equal to the initial input u.
- Free there will be no initial equation and thus the solver is free to find an initial output using initialValue as an initial guess.

Parameters (4)

samplingPeriod	Value: Type: Time (s) Description: Interval at which to sample the input
offsetStartTime	Value: samplingPeriod Type: Time (s) Description: Sampling will begin at startTime = modelStartTime + offsetStartTime
initialValue	Value: 0 Type: OutputType Description: Initial Value to be reported before startTime
init	Value: modelSettings.init Type: InitializationOptions Description: Provide InitializationOptions (Free, FixedValue, SteadyState)
