Simulink.BusElement

Describe an element of a signal bus

Description

Objects of this class describe elements of buses described by objects of the Simulink.Bus class.

Property Dialog Box

Name
Dimensions
A vector specifying the dimensions of the element.
Data type
Name of the data type of this element. The value of this field can, with one exception, be a Simulink.NumericType object. The exception is a Simulink.NumericType whose Category is Fixed-point: unspecified scaling. The value of this field can also be the name of a base workspace variable that references a Simulink.Bus object. This allows you to create bus objects that specify hierarchical buses, i.e., buses that contain other buses.
Sample time
Size of the interval between times when this signal's value must be recomputed. Must be -1 (inherited) if the bus of which this signal is an element passes through a block that changes the bus's sample time, such as a Rate Transition block. See Specifying Sample Time for more information.
Complexity
Numeric type (i.e., real or complex) of this element.
Sampling mode
Sampling mode of this element. This field is intended to be used by applications based on Simulink. Simulink itself ignores it.
