I am attempting to use the MATLAB Function block in my simulink model; however evrytime i run it, the following errors occur; "Please change your current directory to a writable directory preferably outside of MATLAB installation area."

function [mean,stdev] = stats(vals)
%#codegen
%calculates the statistical mean 
%and s.d for the values in vals

len = length(vals);
mean = avg(vals,len);
stdev = sqrt(sum(((vals-avg(vals,len)).^2))/len);
coder.extrinsic('plot');
plot(vals,'-+');

function mean = avg(array,size)
mean = sum(array)/size;

Have you tried copying your model to another folder?

Answer 1

You should move your models and codes to a folder which is not the installation folder of MATLAB. Your desktop or 'my documents' should work.

Oh! thank you, I managed to change the directory and things worked just fine. The trick was to leave the default display windows of MATLAB so as to be able to change to the directories of origin easily. THank you though.
