Scope

This block plots data with respect to simulation time.

Description

The Scope block displays its input with respect to simulation time. The Scope block allows for multiple inputs.

For defining plot signals,the Scope block provides a number of parameters including axis, range, labels and graphical properties.

Parameters

Scope_0

NameLabelDescriptionData TypeValid Values

nin

Number of inputs

Number of input signals. Integer value. Default 0.

Number

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.

Number

winSize

Window size

X,Y dimension of the plot window. Integer values. Default size is given as [-1,-1] and corresponds to [400,400].

Vector of size 2

winPos

Window position

X,Y position of the plot window. Integer values. Default [-1,-1] indicates the scope is positioned automatically.

Vector of size 2

winNam

Window name

Name of the plot window. String. Default is empty.

String

winHidden

Hidden

The window is hidden initially by default.

Number

showAtEnd

Plot after simulation ends

Display the plots (lines) at the end of simulation instead of progressively along with simulation time.

option

Window options

Define the scope window setting for a simulation. Default is 'Reuse'.
- 'Reuse': An initial simulation plots results in a scope window. Subsequent simulations plot results in the same window, but any existing data is erased.
- 'Overlay': An initial simulation plots results in a scope window. Subsequent simulations plot results in the same window. Existing plots are retained.
- 'New': Each simulation creates a new scope window.
- 'Recreate': Each simulation produces a new scope window, and the existing scope window is deleted.
