Using Simulink

Fixed-Point Settings Interface

Most of the functionality in the Fixed-Point Settings interface is for use with the Simulink Fixed Point product. However, even if you do not have Simulink Fixed Point, you can use the Fixed-Point Settings interface to perform a data type override that allows you to work with a fixed-point model.

If you do not have Simulink Fixed Point, you can work with a model containing Simulink blocks with fixed-point settings by doing the following:

1. Access the Fixed-Point Settings interface from the model by selecting Tools -> Fixed-Point Settings.
2. Set the Logging mode parameter to Force off model wide.
3. Set the Data type override parameter to True doubles or True singles model wide.

This procedure allows you to share fixed-point Simulink models among people in your company who may or may not have Simulink Fixed Point.
