# qiskit.pulse.Constant
<Class id="qiskit.pulse.Constant" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.16/qiskit/pulse/library/parametric_pulses.py" signature="Constant(duration, amp, name=None)" modifiers="class">
A simple constant pulse, with an amplitude value and a duration:
$$
f(x) = amp , 0 <= x < duration
f(x) = 0 , elsewhere
$$
Initialize the constant-valued pulse.
**Parameters**
* **duration** (`int`) Pulse length in terms of the the sampling period dt.
* **amp** (`Union`\[`complex`, `ParameterExpression`]) The amplitude of the constant square pulse.
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Display name for this pulse envelope.
### \_\_init\_\_
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.Constant.__init__" signature="__init__(duration, amp, name=None)">
Initialize the constant-valued pulse.
**Parameters**
* **duration** (`int`) Pulse length in terms of the the sampling period dt.
* **amp** (`Union`\[`complex`, `ParameterExpression`]) The amplitude of the constant square pulse.
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Display name for this pulse envelope.
</Function>

`Union`\[`complex`, `ParameterExpression`]
</Attribute>
### assign\_parameters
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.Constant.assign_parameters" signature="assign_parameters(value_dict)">
Return a new ParametricPulse with parameters assigned.
**Parameters**
**value\_dict** (`Dict`\[`ParameterExpression`, `Union`\[`ParameterExpression`, `float`, `int`]]) A mapping from Parameters to either numeric values or another Parameter expression.
**Return type**
`ParametricPulse`
**Returns**
New pulse with updated parameters.
</Function>
### draw
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.Constant.draw" signature="draw(dt=1, style=None, filename=None, interp_method=None, scale=1, interactive=False)">
Plot the pulse.
**Parameters**
