Communications Toolbox

Running Simulink Simulations

You can use BERTool in conjunction with Simulink models to generate and analyze BER data. The Simulink model simulates the communication system whose performance you want to study, while BERTool manages a series of simulations using the model and collects the BER data.

Note   To use Simulink models within BERTool, you must have a Simulink license. Also, the Communications Blockset is highly recommended. The rest of this section assumes that you have a license for both Simulink and the Communications Blockset.

To access the capabilities of BERTool related to Simulink models, open the Monte Carlo panel.

These topics describe how to use Simulink models in conjunction with BERTool:

• Example: Using a Simulink Model with BERTool

• Varying the Stopping Criteria

For further details about confidence intervals and curve fitting for simulation data, see Plotting Confidence Intervals and Fitting BER Points to a Curve, respectively.
