Rule

Sub ID a

The Output data type parameter of the output signal of a numerical operation block shall be set to Inherit:. A Data Type Conversion shall be used when changing the data type of the block output signal.

Custom Parameter

Not Applicable

Example — Correct

The Output data type parameter of the Divide block is set to Inherit: Inherit via internal rule.

Example — Incorrect

The Output data type parameter of the Divide block is set to int16.

Rationale

Sub ID a:

Dividing the math operations and type cast can help to clarify the order of execution and data type for each expression.

Verification

Model Advisor check: Check Output data type of operation blocks (Simulink Check)
