Hello all,

Sometimes it just feels like MATLAB doesn’t work logically, and I am sure it is because I am failing to grasp some key concept. Everything always just feels way more difficult than I expect it to be. Today there is an issue with Simulink. I have searched on Google for an answer, tried to watch relevant videos and read the help. Still no joy.

I am trying to set the maximum value for a signal so that it doesn’t blow the scaling on my scope plot. I am measuring the Unit Impulse response of a series RLC circuit. As you probably know, the ideal impulse is 0s in duration and infinite amplitude. In reality though, I excite the circuit by summing two step signals, one which steps it up to a high value (e.g. 100) and then the other to pull it down very shortly thereafter.

I then want to find a way to put a max on the signal, so that it only goes to a max of 1, so that it may be represented on the scope as a Unit Impulse, (i.e. Amplitude of 1). I have tried messing with the "Output maximum" field on the "Signal Attributes tab of both the Add block and the Max block, with no success. I don’t understand why putting for example 2 in that field doesn’t cap the signal to a max of 2. What am I missing?Hello all,
