Add Enumerated Inputs, Outputs, and Parameters to a MATLAB Function Block - MATLAB & Simulink

Add Enumerated Inputs, Outputs, and Parameters to aMATLAB FunctionBlock

When you add enumerated inputs, outputs, or parameters to aMATLAB Functionblock, follow these guidelines:

For inputs, inherit the type from the enumerated type of the connected Simulink^®signal or specify the enumeration explicitly.
For outputs, specify the enumerated type explicitly.
For tunable parameters, specify the enumerated type explicitly. For nontunable parameters, derive properties from an enumerated parameter in a parent Simulink masked subsystem or enumerated variable defined in the MATLAB^®base workspace.

To add enumerated data to aMATLAB Functionblock:

In theSymbolspane, add a new variable. In theNamefield, enter a name for the enumerated data.
For parameters, the name must match the enumerated masked parameter or workspace variable name.
In the Property Inspector, in theTypefield, specify an enumerated type.
- For an explicit enumerated type, setTypetoEnum: . Replacewith the name of an enumerated data type that you defined in a MATLAB file on the MATLAB path.
  TheComplexityfield is not visible because enumerated data types do not support complex values.
- To inherit the enumerated type from a connected Simulink signal (for inputs only), setTypetoInherit: Same as Simulink.
