Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simscape Acoustics add-on.

The Pressure Sensor block represents an ideal pressure sensor, that is, a device that converts pressure measured between two points of an acoustic circuit into a physical signal proportional to the pressure.

Use the + and - ports to connect the sensor in parallel with the block (or several blocks) where you want to measure the pressure. Port p outputs the measurement result as a physical signal. Use a PS-Simulink Converter (Simscape) block to connect this port to Simulink^® blocks, such as Scope or Display.
