Using Simulink

Model Discretizer

The Model Discretizer selectively replaces continuous Simulink blocks with discrete equivalents. Discretization is a critical step in digital controller design and for hardware in-the-loop simulations. You can use this tool to prepare continuous models for use with the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder, which supports only discrete blocks.

The Model Discretizer enables you to

• Identify a model's continuous blocks.
• Change a block's parameters from continuous to discrete.
• Apply discretization settings to all continuous blocks in the model or to selected blocks.
• Create configurable subsystems that contain multiple discretization candidates along with the original continuous block(s).
• Switch among the different discretization candidates and evaluate the resulting model simulations.

Requirements

To use the Model Discretizer, you must have the Control System Toolbox, Version 5.2, installed.
