Syntax

flag = showFiSettingsImpl

Description

flag = showFiSettingsImpl specifies whether the Data Types tab appears on the MATLAB® System block dialog box. The Data Types tab includes parameters to control processing of fixed point data the MATLAB System block. You cannot specify which parameters appear on the tab. If you implement showFiSettingsImpl, the simulation mode is set code generation.

showFiSettingsImpl is called by the MATLAB System block.

The parameters that appear on the Data Types tab, which cannot be customized, are

  • Saturate on integer overflow is a check box to control the action to take on integer overflow for built-in integer types. The default is that the box is checked, which indicates to saturate. This is also the default for when Same as MATLAB is selected as the MATLAB System fimath option.

  • Treat these inherited Simulink signal types as fi objects is a pull down that indicates which inherited data types to treat as fi data types. Valid options are Fixed point and Fixed point & integer. The default value is Fixed point.

  • MATLAB System fimath has two radio button options: Same as MATLAB and Specify Other. The default, Same as MATLAB, uses the current MATLAB fixed-point math settings. Specify Other enables the edit box for specifying the desired fixed-point math settings. For information on setting fixed-point math, see fimath, in the Fixed-Point Designer™ documentation.

Note

If you do not want to display the tab, you do not need to implement this method in your class definition file.

You must set Access = protected and Static for this method.

Output Arguments

flag

Flag indicating whether to display the Data Types tab on the MATLAB System block mask, returned as a logical scalar value. Returning a true value displays the tab. A false value does not display the tab.

Default: false

Examples

Show the Data Types tab on the MATLAB System block dialog box. 

methods (Static, Access = protected)
   function isVisible = showFiSettingsImpl
     isVisible = true;
   end
end

If you set the flag, isVisible, to true, the tab appears as follows when you add the object to Simulink® with the MATLAB System block.
