kitControl-Random

 This component can be used to generate 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. It is available in the kitControl palette’s Util folder. See the next section, Random setup.

Random setup

Setup of the Random component involves setting the following properties:

  • multiplier:

    this is a double value that is used to multiply by the random number (the random number is >=0.0 but <1.0). The multiplier is set to 1.0 by default.

  • Offset

    This is the positive or negative distance from zero that the wave's amplitude is centered on. The default offset value is 50.

  • Update Interval

    This is the amount of time between output changes. The default value is set to 01 seconds.
