PassThrough

Output is identical to input

Information

This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.

The output y is identical to the input u.

Notes

This component is most often useful as a conditional component: Graphical components and their connections are automatically removed when the component is not active, so the PassThrough component can be used to switch bewtween different structural configurations inside a component (e.g., have an input be modified or unmodified according to some switch as is done in BusinessSimulation.SourcesOrSinks.ExponentialGrowth where the input rate is turned to a force of interest or left unchanged according to a structural parameter).
