Model that prints values to a file
Information
This model prints to a file or the terminal at a fixed sample interval.
The parameter configuration controls the printing as follows:
configuration | configuration | 
1 |  print at sample times only | 
2 |  print at sample times and at end of simulation | 
3 |  print at end of simulation only | 
 
Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.DiscreteBlock (Base class of discrete control blocks).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description | 
| Time | samplePeriod |   | Sample period of component [s] | 
| Time | startTime | 0 | First sample time instant [s] | 
| String | header | "" | Header to be printed | 
| String | fileName | "" | File name (empty string is the terminal) | 
| Integer | nin | 1 | Number of inputs | 
| Integer | configuration | 1 | Index for treating final report (see documentation) | 
| Integer | minimumLength | 1 | Minimum length of result string |
