===== Detailed Function Description =====

The block is used to create insensitivity to changes in value around the zero input value, with the size of the insensitivity determined by the //DeadZone// parameter. The transfer characteristic of the block is described by the following diagram\\
{{:cs:mervis-ide:35-help:deadzone_transfer.png}}\\

  * In the input value range ''< -DeadZone, DeadZone >'', the block's output is zero
  * In the range ''(-infinity, -DeadZone)'', the output is defined by a line with points ''[-DeadZone, 0] -> [-FinalX, -FinalY]''
  * In the range ''(DeadZone, infinity)'', the output is defined by a line with points ''[DeadZone, 0] -> [FinalX, FinalY]''
