Description
This block performs addition or soustraction on its scalar or vector inputs.The user can adjust the gain for each input with the parameter Inputs ports signs/gain. The behavior of the block is summarized in the following table :
| Number of inputs | Operation | Remarks | 
| One | y = k*u | k is the scalar value in Inputs ports signs/gain parameter. The block has the behavior of a gain. | 
| Two or more | y = k[1]*u1+k[2]*u2+...+k[n]*uN | k is the vector value write in Inputs ports signs/gain parameter. To subtract an input ui, set a negative value in k[i]. |
