kitControl-Random

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.

Figure 126. Random properties

Property	Value	Description
Facets	Config 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 from`acceleration` 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.
Out	read-only number to a single decimal place	Displays the random number.
Multiplier	number 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`).
Offset	number to two decimal places (defaults to 50)	Defines a positive or negative distance from zero that the wave's amplitude is centered on.
Update Interval	hours minutes seconds (defaults to one second)	Defines the amount of time between output changes.
