Hello Kevin, 
When you use "get_param(gcb, 'ParameterName')" in Simulink to retrieve a parameter value from a block, it should return the current value of that parameter. If you're trying to set the block's parameter value to the result of "get_param", you might encounter issues with how the value is being interpreted or assigned. If you want to set a parameter to a specific string value (e.g., a signal name), use "set_param" instead.
newSignalName = 'signalName'; 
set_param(blockPath, paramName, newSignalName);
Hope it helps!
