Create the ECU description object for the model.

descObj = coder.asap2.getEcuDescriptions("ASAP2Demo");

Get the list of available computation methods in the description object.

find(descObj,"CompuMethod")

ans = 1x10 string
    "ASAP2DemoModelRef_CM_double"    "ASAP2DemoModelRef_CM_int16_rpm"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_double"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_double_m_per__s_2_"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_double_rpm"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_int32"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_single"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_single_m_per__s_2_"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_single_rpm"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_uint8"

Filter the computation methods and get a list of computation methods that use rpm as the unit.

find(descObj,"CompuMethod",Units='rpm')

ans = 1x3 string
    "ASAP2DemoModelRef_CM_int16_rpm"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_double_rpm"    "ASAP2Demo_CM_single_rpm"

Create and Add Custom Computation Method

To add a new computation method to the ASAP2 file, create a custom computation method.

CompuMethod_1 = coder.asap2.CompuMethod;
CompuMethod_1.Name = 'CompuMethod_1';
CompuMethod_1.ConversionType = 'LINEAR';
CompuMethod_1.Coefficients = [2 3];
CompuMethod_1.LongIdentifier = 'longIdentifierTest';
CompuMethod_1.Format = '%2.3';
CompuMethod_1.Units = 's';

Add the custom computation method to the ECU description object.

add(descObj,CompuMethod_1);

Get the properties of the newly added computation method.

get(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1")

ans = 
  CompuMethod with properties:

     ConversionType: 'LINEAR'
    CompuVTabValues: [1x1 struct]
         CustomData: ""

To modify a property of the computation method, use set function. Update the ConversionType field of the computation method to TAB_VERB and define the CompuVTabValues.

set(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1",ConversionType="TAB_VERB");
set(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1",CompuVTabValues = struct('Literals',["false" "true"],'Values',[0 1]));

Get the properties to see the modified fields.

Create and Add Lookup Table Parameter

Add a lookup table parameter.

LUT_Parameter = coder.asap2.Characteristic;
LUT_Parameter.Name = "custom_lookup_table";
LUT_Parameter.Type = "MAP";

Create and add axis information to the parameter.

axis_data = coder.asap2.AxisInfo;
