在 MATLAB Online 中打开

a  = fi(pi, true, 16, 12);
xi = intmax(a)

This is code taken from https://www.mathworks.com/help/fixedpoint/ref/intmax.html , which I found as first link by asking an internet search engine for "Matlab fi maximum value".

[EDITED] Maybe you want https://www.mathworks.com/help/fixedpoint/ref/realmax.html :

a  = fi(pi, true, 16, 12);
xd = realmax(a)

I cannot test this, because I do not have the FI toolbox. But what about realmax?

Justin 2019-3-28

Yes, that looks good. found everything I need here:https://uk.mathworks.com/help/fixedpoint/data-type-operators-and-tools.html

and here: https://uk.mathworks.com/help/fixedpoint/data-analysis.html

upperbound and lowerbound (or range) and realmin get me what I want. Thanks for your help navigating the documentation!

I have answered my own question by creating the following function:

function info = fiInfo(inFi)
    if inFi.Signed 
        info.max = (2^(inFi.WordLength - 1) - 1) / 2^inFi.FractionLength;
        info.min = -2^((inFi.WordLength - 1) - inFi.FractionLength);
        info.precision = 2^-inFi.FractionLength;
    else
        info.max = (2^inFi.WordLength - 1) / 2^inFi.FractionLength;
        info.min = 0;
        info.precision = 2^-inFi.FractionLength;
    end
end

resulting in

>> a = fi(pi, true, 16, 12);
>> fiInfo(a)
ans = 
  struct with fields:
          max: 7.9998
          min: -8
    precision: 2.4414e-04

or

>> a = fi(pi, false, 16, 12);
>> fiInfo(a)
ans = 
  struct with fields:
          max: 15.9998
          min: 0
    precision: 2.4414e-04

This seems to be a lot of faffing to get at some basic info. Surely there is a better way?
