Model Configuration Parameters: Data Import/Export

The Data Import/Export pane includes parameters for configuring simulation input and output options. The parameters allow you to import input signal and initial state data and export output, signal, and state data during simulation. You can use standard or custom MATLAB^® functions to generate input signals for a system and to graph, analyze, or otherwise postprocess simulation results.

Parameter	Description
Input	Loads input data from a workspace before the simulation begins.
Initial state	Loads the model initial states from a workspace before simulation begins.
Time	Saves simulation time data to the specified variable during simulation.
States	Saves state data to the specified variable during a simulation.
Output	Saves signal data to the specified variable during simulation.
Final states	Saves the model states at the end of a simulation to the specified variable.
Format	Select the data format for saving states, output, and final states data.
Limit data points to last	Log only the last n data points for outputs and states.
Decimation	Specify decimation factor, n, for output and states logging such that only every n points are logged.
Save final operating point	At the end of a simulation, Simulink® saves the complete set of states of the model, including logged states.
Signal logging	Globally enable or disable signal logging for the model.
Data stores	Globally enable or disable logging of Data Store Memory block variables for the model.
Log Dataset data to file	Log data to MAT-file.
Output options	Select options for generating additional output signal data for variable-step solvers.
Refine factor	Specify how many points to generate between time steps to refine the output.
Output times	Specify times at which Simulink software should generate output in addition to, or instead of, the times of the simulation steps taken by the solver used to simulate the model.
Single simulation output	Specify whether to return simulation data as a single Simulink.SimulationOutput object.
Logging intervals	Set intervals for logging
Record logged workspace data in Simulation Data Inspector	Specify whether to send logged data to the Simulation Data Inspector when a simulation pauses or completes.

These configuration parameters are in the Advanced parameters section.

Parameter	Description
Dataset signal format	Format for Dataset elements.
Stream To Workspace blocks	Specify whether data logged using To Workspace blocks streams to the Simulation Data Inspector.
