Create Fixed-Point Objects in MATLAB

fi and numerictype for fixed-point data creation

You can create fixed-point data using the Fixed-Point Designer™ fi object. Within the fi constructor, you can specify numerictype and fimath properties. Each fi object has an associated numerictype object. The numerictype object stores information about the fi object including word length, fraction length, and signedness. The numerictype object is equivalent to the fixdt object in Simulink®.
