Active State Data

Output self, child, or leaf active state data to monitor chart activity

Stateflow^® can create output and local data to represent the current active state during simulation. Use active state output data to drive Simulink^® subsystems. Log active state data for diagnostics.

Simplify Stateflow Charts by Incorporating Active State Output

Active state data can simplify the design of some Stateflow® charts because you do not have to maintain data that is highly correlated to the chart hierarchy. When you enable active state data, Stateflow reports state activity through an output port to Simulink® or as local data in your chart. This example shows how to simplify the design of a Stateflow chart by adding active state output data. For more information, see Monitor State Activity Through Active State Data.
