Using Simulink    

Simulating with Signal Groups

You can use standard simulation commands to run models containing Signal Builder blocks or you can use the Signal Builder's Run all command (see Running All Signal Groups).

Activating a Signal Group

During a simulation, a Signal Builder block always outputs the active signal group. The active signal group is the group selected in the Signal Builder dialog box for that block, if the dialog box is open, otherwise the group that was selected when the dialog box was last closed. To activate a group, open the group's Signal Builder dialog box and select the group.

Running Different Signal Groups in Succession

The Signal Builder's toolbar includes the standard Simulink buttons for running a simulation. This facilitates running several different signal groups in succession. For example, you can open the dialog box, select a group, run a simulation, select another group, run a simulation, etc., all from the Signal Builder's dialog box.

Running All Signal Groups

To run all the signal groups defined by a Signal Builder block, open the block's dialog box and select the Run all button from the Signal Builder's toolbar. The Run all command runs a series of simulations, one for each signal group defined by the block. If you have installed the optional Model Coverage Tool on your system, the Run all command configures the tool to collect and save coverage data for each simulation in the MATLAB workspace and display a report of the combined coverage results at the end of the last simulation. This allows you to quickly determine how well a set of signal groups tests your model.
