Stateflow User's Guide

Use the following synopses for the chapters in the Stateflow User's Guide to help you find the information that you need.

Introduction to Stateflow -- Gives you an introductory explanation of the fundamentals of Stateflow diagrams.
Controlling with States and Transitions -- Shows you the simplest level of control with states and transitions.
Controlling with Junctions -- Shows you how to add junctions to give you more levels of control. Also shows you how to program with flow diagrams.
Controlling with Superstates -- Shows you how to simplify control through the addition of superstates.
Stateflow in Simulink -- Shows you how you can use a Stateflow block to control a simulated physical process.
Stateflow Concepts--Gives you a look at some finite state machine concepts and takes you on a tour of a real-life Stateflow model.
Stateflow Notation -- Explains the graphical and nongraphical symbolism used to create Stateflow diagrams.
Stateflow Semantics -- Explains how Stateflow diagram notation is interpreted and implemented into Stateflow model behavior.
Creating Stateflow Chart Diagrams -- Learn how to create a chart diagram and fill it with the basic objects of Stateflow: states, transitions, and junctions.
Extending Stateflow Chart Diagrams -- Learn the objects of Stateflow that extend the basic objects of Stateflow with history junctions, subcharts, functions, boxes, and notes.
Defining Events and Data -- Describes the nongraphical objects that are essential to completing and defining interfaces to the Stateflow diagram.
Using Actions in Stateflow -- Describes the allowable content (statements, function calls, etc.) in Stateflow action language.
Using Fixed-Point Data in Stateflow -- Describes fixed-point data in general and how you define and use it in Stateflow.
Defining Interfaces to Simulink and MATLAB -- Describes how to create interfaces between a chart block and other blocks in a Simulink model.
Truth Table Functions -- Shows you how to fill in truth tables that Stateflow uses to generate functions with the logical behavior you specify.
Using Embedded MATLAB Functions -- Shows you how to use embedded MATLAB (eML) functions that you specify with a special subset of MATLAB m-code.
Exploring and Modifying Charts -- Tells you how to find and replace objects in Stateflow charts.
Building Targets -- Tells you how to configure Stateflow to generate code.
Debugging and Testing -- Tells you how to debug a Stateflow model.
Using the Stateflow API -- Introduces you to the Stateflow API (Application Programming Interface) and gives you a quick start to using it.
API Properties and Methods by Use -- Provides reference information on the properties and methods of the Stateflow API categorized by types of use.
API Properties and Methods by Object -- Provides reference information on the properties and methods of the Stateflow API categorized by Stateflow object types.
API Methods Reference -- Provides reference information on Stateflow API methods including their call, syntax, arguments, and returns.
The Stateflow Block, -- Provides a block reference to the Stateflow block in Simulink.
Semantic Rules Summary, -- Concise statement of the semantic rules that govern the behavior of objects in Stateflow diagrams.
Glossary -- Gives you definitions of key terms and concepts in Stateflow.
