DataTypeWorkflow.Converter

Create fixed-point converter object

Description

The DataTypeWorkflow.Converter object contains the object functions and parameters needed to collect simulation and derived data, propose and apply data types to the model, and analyze results. Use the DataTypeWorkflow.Converter object to perform the same fixed-point conversion tasks as the Fixed-Point Tool.

Creation

Description

converter = DataTypeWorkflow.Converter(systemToScale) creates a converter object for the systemToScale.

example

converter = DataTypeWorkflow.Converter(referencedModelSystem,'TopModel',topModel) creates a converter object with the specified referenced model, referencedModelSystem, as the system to scale.

Input Arguments

expand all

Name of the model or subsystem to scale, specified as a character vector.

Example: converter = DataTypeWorkflow.Converter('ex_fixed_point_workflow');

Name of the referenced model or the subsystem within a referenced model to convert to fixed point, specified as a character vector.

Name of the top-level model that references referencedModelSystem, specified as a character vector. topModel is used during the range collection phase of conversion.

Properties

expand all

Current run stored in the converter object, specified as a character vector.

Example: converter.CurrentRunName = 'FixedPointRun'

Data Types: char

Names of all runs stored in the converter object, specified as a cell array of character vectors.

Example: converter.RunNames

Data Types: cell

Name of the model or subsystem to scale, returned as a character vector.

Example: converter.SelectedSystemToScale

Data Types: char

Available system settings shortcuts for the selected subsystem, specified as a cell array of character vectors.

Example: converter.ShortcutsForSelectedSystem

Data Types: cell

Name of the top-level model that references referencedModelSystem, specified as a character vector. topModel is used during the range collection phase of conversion.

Example: converter.TopModel

Data Types: char

This example shows how to create a DataTypeWorkflow.Converter object.

Open the fxpdemo_feedback model.

open_system('fxpdemo_feedback');

The Controller subsystem uses fixed-point data types. Create a DataTypeWorkflow.Converter object.

converter = DataTypeWorkflow.Converter('fxpdemo_feedback/Controller');

You can view and edit properties of the converter object from the command line. For example, to change the name of the current run:

converter.CurrentRunName = 'FixedPointRun'
converter = 

  Converter with properties:

                CurrentRunName: 'FixedPointRun'
                      RunNames: {0x1 cell}
    ShortcutsForSelectedSystem: {6x1 cell}
                      TopModel: 'fxpdemo_feedback'
         SelectedSystemToScale: 'fxpdemo_feedback/Controller'
