Create block

Do not generate SIL or PIL block.

Generate a SIL block that represents a top-model or subsystem.

If you select this option, the software creates and opens an untitled model with a SIL block. The SIL block contains an S-function, through which the software runs compiled object code on your development computer. With this block, you can test the source code generated from top-model or subsystem components.

If the subsystem is an export-function subsystem, the software creates a Model block with Simulation mode set to Software-in-the-loop (SIL).

Generate a PIL block that represents a top-model or subsystem.

If you select this option, the software creates and opens an untitled model with a PIL block. The PIL block contains an S-function, through which the software runs cross-compiled object code on a target processor or instruction set simulator. With this block, you can test the object code generated from top-model or subsystem components.

If the subsystem is an export-function subsystem, the software creates a Model block with Simulation mode set to Processor-in-the-loop (PIL).

To control the way code compiles and executes in the target environment, use Target Connectivity API.
