Create Signal Data for Simulation

Create input data to load into a model as simulation input

Create input data to load into a model as simulation input. You can create signal data in the MATLAB^® workspace or use the Signal Editor block.

Blocks

Display, create, edit, and switch interchangeable scenarios

Create signal in Live Editor (Since R2022b)

Create and edit input signals
