When placed in an iterator subsystem, it holds and delays its input by one iteration. Nonvirtual bus signals can result in additional copies, but from the simulink engine perspective, this is the specification. If the signal crosses zero during a minor time step, the subsystem is not enabled or disabled until the next major time step. The simulation completes the current time step before terminating. This block accepts continuous and discrete signals. Virtual blocks, by contrast, play no active role in the simulation. Then add blocks to the subsystem by opening the subsystem block and copying blocks into it.
This buffer ensures consistent initialization of the outport block signal in a few cases, adding a signal buffer with a conditional output signal or partial write signal can cause a different simulation result.
