Signal Specification

Dimensions (-1 for inherited)

Specify the dimensions of the input and output signals.

Settings

Default: -1

-1

Specifies that signals inherit dimensions.

n

Specifies vector signal of width n.

[m n]

Specifies matrix signal having m rows and n columns.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: Dimensions

Type: string

Value: '-1' | n | [m n]

Default: '-1'

Signal Specification

Variable-size signal

Specify a variable-size signal, fixed-size signal, or both.

Settings

Default: Inherit

Inherit

Allows variable-size and fixed-size signals.

No

Does not allow variable-size signals.

Yes

Allows only variable-size signals.

Dependencies

When the signal is a variable-size signal, the Dimensions parameter specifies the maximum dimensions of the signal.

If you specify a bus object, the simulation allows variable-size signals only with a disabled bus object.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: VarSizeSig

Type: string

Value: 'Inherit' | 'No' | 'Yes'

Default: 'Inherit'

Signal Specification

Sample time (-1 for inherited)

Specify the time interval when simulation updates the block.

Settings

Default: -1

Specify the time interval between samples. To inherit the sample time, set this parameter to -1. See “Specify Sample Time” for more information.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: SampleTime

Type: string

Value: Any valid sample time

Default: '-1'

Signal Specification

Signal type

Specify the numeric type of the input and output signals.

Settings

Default: auto

auto

Accepts either real or complex as the numeric type.

real

Specifies the numeric type as a real number.

complex

Specifies the numeric type as a complex number.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: SignalType

Type: string

Value: 'auto' | 'real' | 'complex'

Default: 'auto'
