Selecting Types for Arguments

When you click on the down arrow of the Type field for an argument in its Data properties dialog box or in its row element in the Model Explorer, a selectable list of data types appears. You can directly specify the type of the data by selecting one of the following types:

Data Type
Description

double
64-bit double-precision floating point

single
32-bit single-precision floating point

int32
32-bit signed integer

int16
16-bit signed integer

int8
8-bit signed integer

uint32
32-bit unsigned integer

uint16
16-bit unsigned integer

uint8
8-bit unsigned integer

boolean
Boolean (1 = true; 0 = false)

fixpt
Fixed-point data
Specifying fixpt enables the Stored Integer and Scaling fields in the adjacent Fixed-Point field section, which are used to specify the fixed-point type.
For fixed-point data, if an input or output fixed-point argument does not match its counterpart data in Simulink, a mismatch error results.

inherited
Inherit type of input or output data from Simulink
See Inheriting Argument Data Types for more details.

Data Type	Description
`double`	64-bit double-precision floating point
`single`	32-bit single-precision floating point
`int32`	32-bit signed integer
`int16`	16-bit signed integer
`int8`	8-bit signed integer
`uint32`	32-bit unsigned integer
`uint16`	16-bit unsigned integer
`uint8`	8-bit unsigned integer
`boolean`	Boolean (1 = true; 0 = false)
`fixpt`	Fixed-point data Specifying `fixpt` enables the Stored Integer and Scaling fields in the adjacent Fixed-Point field section, which are used to specify the fixed-point type. For fixed-point data, if an input or output fixed-point argument does not match its counterpart data in Simulink, a mismatch error results.
