Generates a number of samples of random numbers of [min, max) meaning the max value won't be included. Repeat samples if specified. Great for creating bytes of information for a modulator.
Ex: With min=0 and max=2, the sequence 01110101... will be generated.
Supports an output of type int, short, and byte.
This block differs from Random Uniform Source in the pseudorandom number generator used. This block uses Numpy to generate random values through the MT19937 algorithm which has been shown to be require more processing time but be more numerically stable than the xoroshiro128+ algorithm used in Random Uniform Source.
