SignalOut

This block writes an Activate signal to the OML workspace. At each activation step, time, input value and some information on the type of activation are recorded.

Library

Activate/SignalExporters

Description

The SignalOut block is used to put simulation data in the OML workspace. Each sampling time, both time and value of input are recorded.

Data is then exposed in the workspace as an Activate sigs object.

Data can also be read by a SignalIn block that can reconstruct the original signal fed to the SignalOut block.

Consider, for example, the signalOut block with 3 input ports and the signal name "A".

After the simulation, the time instants of data stored in "A" can be retrieved using "A.time" command and the data matrix corresponding to input port "i" is retrieved using "A.ch{i}.data" command in the OML window.

Parameters

SignalOut_0

NameLabelDescriptionData TypeValid Values

nin

Number of inputs

Number of inputs. Integer value.

Number

varname

Variable name

Name of the OML variable to be set in the OML workspace.

String

externalActivation

External activation

Specifies whether the block receives an external activation or inherits its activation through its regular input ports. When External Activation is selected, an additional activation port is added to the block. By default, external activation is not selected.
