Description

The ToMatFile block exports Activate data to a MAT file. At simulation instant chosen in Advanced tab, the time and the variable values are saved in the MAT file.

The lengths of the time element and variable element are identical.

The created MAT file can be read by the FromMatFile block or any tool capable of reading a MAT file.

The FromMatFile block can regenerate the original signal fed to the ToMatFile block.

Parameters

ToMatFile_0

NameLabelDescriptionData TypeValid Values

fname

Matfile name

Name of the MAT file.

String

tvarname

Time variable name

Name of the variable in the data structure that contains the time values. If no name is provided, the time variable is not exported. In this case, the external activation should be enabled to store data at event instants.

String

nin

Number of inputs

Number of data channels to be writte in the MAT file.

Number

inports

Output port parameters

Variable name

Cell of strings

externalActivation

External activation

Specifies whether the block receives an external activation or inherits its activation through its regular input ports. When External Activation is selected, an additional activation port is added to the block. By default, external activation is not selected.
