Share Fixed-Point Models

You can edit a model containing fixed-point blocks without having Fixed-Point Designer™. However, you must have Fixed-Point Designer 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

  • Automatically scale the output of a model

If you do not have Fixed-Point Designer, you can work with a model containing Simulink blocks with fixed-point settings as follows:

  1. set_param(gcs,'DataTypeOverride','Double',...'DataTypeOverrideAppliesTo','AllNumericTypes',...'MinMaxOverflowLogging','ForceOff')

  2. If you usefiobjects or embedded numeric data types in your model, set thefiprefDataTypeOverrideproperty toTrueDoublesorTrueSingles(to be consistent with the model-wide data type override setting) and theDataTypeOverrideAppliesToproperty toAll numeric types.

    For example, at the MATLAB®command line, enter:

    p = fipref('DataTypeOverride','TrueDoubles',...'DataTypeOverrideAppliesTo','AllNumericTypes');

Note

If you usefi(Fixed-Point Designer)objects or embedded numeric data types in your model or workspace, you might introduce fixed-point data types into your model. You can setfipref(Fixed-Point Designer)to prevent the checkout of a Fixed-Point Designer license.
