Preface (Fixed-Point Blockset)

Fixed-Point Blockset

Using This Guide

This guide describes how to use the Fixed-Point Blockset to emulate fixed-point arithmetic when modeling discrete-time dynamic systems in Simulink. It contains tutorial information that describes how to use the blockset features, as well as a reference entry for each block and function in the blockset.

Expected Background

This guide assumes you are familiar with both MATLAB and Simulink. If you are new to MATLAB, you should read the Getting Started with MATLAB documentation. If you are new to Simulink, you should read the Using Simulink documentation.

You should also have a basic understanding of Boolean algebra and binary word representations.
