Well, the best work around I came to find was to use a flag with a condition to either start calculating the offset of not. The flag is set on a suitable scope by using Data Store Memory block. I got it to be something like this:
Initializing Simulink Model (Run a function once)

Hi,
I have a model where I get output from an Aurduino Uno board. In this model, I have to make some sort of initialization (to calculate offset and calibrate readings). Typically, this will be done using a loop function that runs only once. Since I couldn't find a way to do that I used MATLAB Function block and made the signal go through before being fed to the model. The function is as follows:
function y = fcn(u)
u_calc = 0;
for i = 1:10
u_calc = u_calc + u;
pause('0.1');
end
u_calc = u_calc/10;
y = u-u_calc;
Basucally there is no way to make the loop conditionally run once, since I can't just set an "if" condition + a flag beacuse of the flag variable scope. How can I get around this? Or is there another approach to perform such task?
Your help is much appreciated.

Can you give some details on what model do you use for Arduino UNO? Do you use MATLAB code or Simulink?
