Fixed-Point Blockset

Licensing Information

Beginning with Release 13, the Fixed-Point Blockset is shipped and installed with every copy of Simulink. You can edit a model containing fixed-point blocks without a fixed-point license. However, you must have a fixed-point license to

• Update a Simulink diagram (Ctrl+D) containing fixed-point data types
• Run a model containing fixed-point data types
• Generate code from a model containing fixed-point data types
• Log the minimum and maximum values produced by a simulation
• Handle overflows by saturating to the minimum or maximum possible value
• Automatically scale the output of a model using the autoscaling tool

The following products also depend on a fixed-point license to take full advantage of fixed-point features in R13:

• DSP Blockset
• Embedded Target for the TI TMS320C600^TM DSP Platform
• Real-Time Workshop
• Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder
• Stateflow
• Stateflow Coder
• xPC Target

To work with a model containing blocks from the Fixed-Point Blockset without a fixed-point license:

1. Access the Fixed-Point Settings interface from the model by selecting Tools -> Fixed-Point settings.
2. Set the Logging mode parameter to Force off model-wide.
3. Set the Data type override parameter to True doubles or True singles model-wide.
