    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

    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:
    
                   Name: 'CompuMethod_1'
         LongIdentifier: 'longIdentifierTest'
                 Format: '%2.3'
                  Units: 's'
           Coefficients: [2 3]
         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.

    modifiedprop = get(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1")
    modifiedprop = 
      CompuMethod with properties:
    
                   Name: 'CompuMethod_1'
         LongIdentifier: 'longIdentifierTest'
                 Format: '%2.3'
                  Units: 's'
           Coefficients: [2 3]
         ConversionType: "TAB_VERB"
        CompuVTabValues: [1x1 struct]
             CustomData: ""
    
    
    modifiedprop.CompuVTabValues
    ans = struct with fields:
        Literals: ["false"    "true"]
          Values: [0 1]
    
    

    Generate the ASAP2 file using the updated ECU description object and verify that the ASAP2 file contains the computation method CompuMethod_1.

    coder.asap2.export("ASAP2Demo",CustomEcuDescriptions=descObj);
    Following Characteristics or Measurements with unsupported data types are not exported in ASAP2 file. "ASAP2Demo_DW.ASAP2DemoModelRef_InstanceData"
