ELEMENT PARAMETERS

DataStructure:	RCunit_type  [in /usr/genesis/src/segment/seg_struct.h]

Size:		96 bytes

Fields:		V0	initial value of "state" (set on RESET)
		R	series resistance
		C	shunting capacitance
		state	output value
		inject	input value

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SIMULATION PARAMETERS

Function:	RC_Unit  [in src/segment/rcunit.c]

Classes:	segment

Actions:	CHECK  PROCESS  RESET

Messages:	INJECT inject (input-value)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:		

An RC element is often used as a low-pass filter, as with a voltage clamp
circuit, in order to prevent a step change in the command voltage from
causing numerical instabilities.
