Set Model Reference Discrete Sample Time Inheritance

Disallow model reference discrete sample time inheritance for a System object™. The System object defined in this example has one input, so by default, it allows sample time inheritance. To override the default and disallow inheritance, the class definition file for this example includes the allowModelReferenceDiscreteSampleTimeInheritanceImpl method, with its output set to false.

methods (Access = protected)
   function flag = ...
       allowModelReferenceDiscreteSampleTimeInheritanceImpl(obj)
     flag = false;
   end
end
