How to change the data type of an Inport block ? Eg from 'Inherit: auto' to 'Bus: abc'

I am trying to change the data type of Inport blocks from 'Inherit: auto' to 'Bus:'. I want to know if there is any command to do such a thing or how to write a script for it.

There are two lines of code for it in command line. First you need to define a bus, and then you need to create its element(since it has 0 elements by default).

InBus=Simulink.Bus;
InBus.Elements=Simulink.BusElement;

These code creates a bus and its element. Then, choose Bus for inport and write InBus.

Hi Birdman,

Thank you for the quick response. But I am not trying to create a Bus object or a Bus element, they are already there. I would like to convert the datatype of an Inport block from 'Inherit: auto' to Bus (Eg. 'Bus: abc' which is already present ) from the command line, not by clicking on the block. Sort of like 'Data Type Conversion' block but instead I need a command for it.

Then the page you are looking for is at the following link:

You need to find

OutDataTypeStr

parameter.
