Stateflow User's Guide

Stateflow and Simulink

Stateflow functions as a finite state machine within a Simulink model. The following topics examine how Stateflow functions in this environment and how Simulink and Stateflow communicate with each other:

• The Simulink Model and the Stateflow Machine -- Describes the Stateflow machine which is the collection of Stateflow blocks in a Simulink model.
• Stateflow Data Dictionary of Objects -- Describes the Stateflow data dictionary, which is the hierarchical collection of all Stateflow objects in a Simulink model.
• Defining Stateflow Interfaces to Simulink -- Tells you how each Stateflow block in Simulink interfaces with the rest of the Simulink model.
• Stateflow Diagram Objects -- Describes most of the Stateflow objects used in creating Stateflow diagrams.
