Signal Logging to the Workspace

Logging signals to the workspace saves data to a variable in your MATLAB® base workspace. You can use MATLAB functions for data analysis and MATLAB plotting functions for visualization. You can save data to a variable during a simulation or during an execution.

The steps in this process are:

  1. Set Scope Parameters for Logging to Workspace

  2. Set Run in Kernel Mode Properties for Logging to Workspace

  3. Plot Signal Data Logged to Workspace by Simulink Desktop Real-Time

If your model contains Outport blocks, you cannot save signal data in Run in Kernel mode. Simulink® supports signal logging with Outport blocks in Connected IO mode or accelerator modes only, when Simulink runs the simulation algorithm.

Tip

In Run in Kernel mode, do not enter or select parameters on the Data I/O tab in the Configuration Parameters dialog box. Instead, add a Scope block to your Simulink model to log signal data.
