Convert Fixed-Point Conversion Project to MATLAB Scripts

This example shows how to convert a Fixed-Point Converter app project to a MATLAB® script. You can use the -tocode option of the fixedPointConverter command to create a script for fixed-point conversion. You can use the script to repeat the project workflow in a command-line workflow. Before you convert the project to a script, you must complete the Test step of the fixed-point conversion process.

Prerequisites

This example uses the following files:

  • Project file ex_2ndOrder_filter.prj

  • Entry-point file ex_2ndOrder_filter.m

  • Test bench file ex_2ndOrder_filter_test.m

  • Generated fixed-point MATLAB file ex_2ndOrder_filter_fixpt.m

To obtain these files, complete the example Propose Data Types Based on Simulation Ranges, including the Test step.

Generate the Scripts

  1. Change to the folder that contains the project file ex_2ndOrder_filter.prj.

  2. Use the -tocode option of the fixedPointConverter command to convert the project to a script. Use the -script option to specify the file name for the script.

    fixedPointConverter -tocode ex_2ndOrder_filter -script ex_2ndOrder_filter_script.m

    The fixedPointConverter command generates a script in the current folder. ex_2ndOrder_filter_script.m contains the MATLAB commands to:

    • Create a floating-point to fixed-point conversion configuration object that has the same fixed-point conversion settings as the project.

    • Run the fiaccel command to convert the MATLAB function ex_2ndOrder_filter to the fixed-point MATLAB function ex_2ndOrder_filter_fixpt.

    The fiaccel command overwrites existing files that have the same name as the generated script. If you omit the -script option, the fiaccel command returns the script in the Command Window.

Run Script That Generates Fixed-Point MATLAB Code

If you want to regenerate the fixed-point function, use the generated script.

  1. Make sure that the current folder contains the entry-point function ex_2ndOrder_filter.m and the test bench file ex_2ndOrder_filter_test.m.

  2. Run the script.

     ex_2ndOrder_filter_script

    The script generates ex_2ndOrder_filter_fixpt.m in the folder codegen\ex_2ndOrder_filter\fixpt. The variables cfg and ARGS appear in the base workspace.
