Namespace: Simulink.data.adapters

Base class used to define file adapter for reading custom file formats

Since R2022b

Description

The Simulink.data.adapters.BaseMatlabFileAdapter class is the base class for custom file adapters that the loadVariablesFromExternalSource function uses to load variables from an external source file into a Simulink.SimulationInput object. Subclass the Simulink.data.adapters.BaseMatlabFileAdapter class to specify how to load data from your custom external data source.

For an example of how to write, test, and register a custom file adapter, see Create External File Adapter for Loading Variables into Simulink.SimulationInput Object.

For an example of how to use a custom file adapter, see loadVariablesFromExternalSource.

The Simulink.data.adapters.BaseMatlabFileAdapter class is a handle class.
