Specify Type Proposal Options
To view type proposal options, in the Fixed-Point Converter app, on the Convert to Fixed Point page, click the Settings arrow .
The following options are available.
Basic Type Proposal Settings | Values | Description |
---|---|---|
Fixed-point type proposal mode |
Propose fraction lengths for specified word length |
Use the specified word length for data type proposals and propose the minimum fraction lengths to avoid overflows. |
Propose word lengths for specified fraction length (default) |
Use the specified fraction length for data type proposals and propose the minimum word lengths to avoid overflows. | |
Default word length |
16 (default) |
Default word length to use when Fixed-point type
proposal mode is set to |
Default fraction length |
4 (default) |
Default fraction length to use when Fixed-point type
proposal mode is set to |
Advanced Type Proposal Settings | Values | Description | |

When proposing types Note Manually-entered static ranges always take precedence over simulation ranges. |
ignore simulation ranges |
Propose data types based on derived ranges. | |
ignore derived ranges |
Propose data types based on simulation ranges. | ||
use all collected data (default) |
Propose data types based on both simulation and derived ranges. | ||
Propose target container types |
Yes |
Propose data type with the smallest word length that can represent
the range and is suitable for C code generation ( 8,16,32, 64 … ).
For example, for a variable with range | |
No (default) |
Propose data types with the minimum word length needed to represent the value. | ||
Optimize whole numbers |
No |
Do not use integer scaling for variables that were whole numbers during simulation. | |
Yes (default) |
Use integer scaling for variables that were whole numbers during simulation. | ||
Signedness |
Automatic (default) |
Proposes signed and unsigned data types depending on the range information for each variable. | |
Signed |
Propose signed data types. | ||
Unsigned |
Propose unsigned data types. | ||
Safety margin for sim min/max (%) |
0 (default) |
Specify safety factor for simulation minimum and maximum values. The simulation minimum and maximum values are adjusted by the
percentage designated by this parameter, allowing you to specify a
range different from that obtained from the simulation run. For
example, a value of | |
Search paths |
|
Add paths to the list of paths to search for MATLAB® files. Separate list items with a semicolon. |

Specify the name of a custom plot function to use for comparison plots. |
Plot with Simulation Data Inspector |
No (default) |
Specify whether to use the Simulation Data Inspector for comparison plots. |
Yes | ||
Highlight potential data type issues |
No (default) |
Specify whether to highlight potential data types in the generated html report. If this option is turned on, the report highlights single-precision, double-precision, and expensive fixed-point operation usage in your MATLAB code. |
Yes |
