Description

The SumElements block returns the sum of the element of an input matrix/vector.

The input matrix can be either of type Double or type Complex.

When the Sum along parameter is set to all, the block outputs the sum of all the elements of the matrix. The output is then a scalar.

When the Sum along parameter is set to Rows the block performs a row-wise sum. The output is a column vector.

When the Sum along is set to Columns, the block is a column-wise sum. The output is a row vector.
