Here is a sample workflow that I used to utilize custom-defined enumeration classes as data types in Simulink via the “inport” block:
- Define the enumeration class in a .m file (In this case, “WeekDays.m”)
classdef WeekDays < Simulink.IntEnumType
enumeration
Day1(0)
Day2(1)
Day3(2)
end
end
2. Using the block parameters dialog box of “inport” block, set “Data type” of the “inport” block under the “Signal Attributes” tab to “Enum: WeekDays”.
3. Use a “constant” block and set its value to WeekDays.Day2 to have Day2 displayed as the output.
4. The result is displayed using a display block
