This chapter describes the functions that are globally available in all scripts written in the Antares DSL programming language.
General Functions
/**
* Recalculates a component after [delay] ns have passed in the simulator,
* even if no input signals have changed. Can be used e.g. to implement a monostable multivibrator.
*
* Example: triggerAfter(200)
*/

/**
* Computes the binary logarithm (base 2) of a given value.
*
* The result is rounded up to the next bigger integer value in order to
* provide enough bits when used to calculate the number of necessary bits that
* represent a number whose number of bits is given by [value].
*
* Examples:
* - log2(8) = 3
* - log2(10) = 4
* - log2(16) = 4

* Treats [signal] like an input signal to a logic gate, thereby possibly converting

* is "Read as O"
