The Two State Switch is part of a family of specialized, user-interface controls, where the user can manually adjust the output during a simulation run. This family of components also includes the Rotary Switch (Dial), the Variable Real/Integer Input Slider and the Push Button.
This component outputs a manually controlled, two-state REAL or INTEGER type value (a switch). In order to control this component interactively, the user must link it to a Control Panel user-interface. The corresponding control panel interface is shown below.
