Modify Sample Times for Nonvirtual Buses

Unlike virtual buses, which can combine signals that have different sample times, all of the signals in a nonvirtual bus must have the same sample time.

To group signals with different sample times in a nonvirtual bus, make the sample times of the input signals the same by inserting Rate Transition blocks.

Suppose a model creates a nonvirtual bus using a Bus Creator block. To standardize the sample time of the input signals, the model uses three Rate Transition blocks before the Bus Creator block.

The Bus Creator block receives signals that are the same rate.

Suppose another model converts a virtual bus to a nonvirtual bus using a root-level Outport block. To standardize the sample time of the elements of the virtual bus, the model uses a single Rate Transition block before the Outport block.

The Outport block receives a virtual bus with a discrete rate.

Alternatively, specify the same sample time at each block that generates an element of the bus.

Tip

To output a multirate virtual bus from a model, use Out Bus Element blocks.
