Simulink Arduino Mega 2560 digital input - PWM signal uncorrect value

Dear Professionals,
I have got an Arduino Mega 2560 and a ultrasonic sound sensor. I am trying to read the PWM signal which comes from the Arduino (picture attached). To determine the error, I take the response of the ultrasonic sound sensor in the case of measurement without results. In this case the Arduino should send a PWM signal on high level for 0.2 seconds. Unfortunately, the scope of my model shows only a high-level signal for less than 0.1 seconds. I tried a lot but I still not find any solutions why it is like this. What I could have found out is, that the simulation time in external mode is not in real time. And if I change parameters in the model configuration that makes it more slow as real time the high level signal is shown less than 0.05 seconds. So, I think it is an issue of not simulating it in real time. How can I simulate it in real time or how can I avoid the issue that the scope is not showing the right values if the model is not simulated in real time?
I hope I descripted it well enough.
To determine the correct distance, I need a sample time of 0.0001 of the Arduino input block.
Cheers Max

Hi Maximilian,
You are correct in that it is not possible to run true real-time simulations on the Mega 2560.
Using External Mode places additional stress on the hardware, which is documented here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduino/ug/tune-and-monitor-model-running-on-arduino-mega-2560-hardware.html#bue1b5i-16
