Customizing variables and scopes in simulink code generation

Hi Community,

I would like to know what does have more impact while code is generated inside Simulink. Is it the signals or the blocks? Also the variables assigned in workspace have any influence in code generation.

I want to achive a certain rules for the functions and defined variables in the generated code, eg:- in workspace I define the variable as uint8(PidKpVal) and when code is generated that needs to be in the format ---> UNSIGNED8 u8PidKpVal and same for the function ---> UNSIGNED16 pid_ctrl_u16PlantPosition_mm.

where can i define and is there any possibility of customize as that of the sl_customization.

To control how parameters and signals are created in the generated code, you need to use Simulink.Parameter and Simulink.Signal objects.

Search "Simulink.Parameter" and "Simulink.Signal" in the document for examples and tutorials.

That's nice. thanks for the reply. Is there any way that we could prevent the code to be geneated unless the model advisor checks has been done?

[Fangjun Jiang]

Yes.
