So I have two inputs 'Pre-State' and 'Pre-Status'. The values going into the ADD block are '1' and '0' respectively, yet for some reason the ADD block keeps returning 255.

The ADD block is setup so that 'Pre-Status' is subtracting 'Pre-State'. So in theory, the output should be -1. Yet it keeps giving 255 for some reason.

Some settings are not right. You have to show it. I guess it is the data type of the output and the saturation flag.

My guess is that Sum block's output data type is uint8, and the block is configured to wrap on integer overflows.

So the output would be module 2^8 of the "ideal output result".

idealOutput = -1
idealOutput = -1
actualOutput = mod(idealOutput, 256)
actualOutput = 255

We could also test this theory with Fixed-Point Designer fi objects.

nt = numerictype('uint8')
nt =


          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Unsigned
            WordLength: 8
        FractionLength: 0
fiOutput = fi( idealOutput, nt, 'OverflowAction', 'Wrap', 'RoundingMethod', 'Floor')
fiOutput = 
   255

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Unsigned
            WordLength: 8
        FractionLength: 0

        RoundingMethod: Floor
        OverflowAction: Wrap
           ProductMode: FullPrecision
               SumMode: FullPrecision
