Stateflow User's Guide

Debugging with the Debugging Window

You use the Stateflow Debugging window to control simulation to make sure that your Stateflow diagrams are behaving exactly as you expect them to.

To open the Stateflow Debugging window,

1. From the Tools menu, select Debug.

1. The Stateflow Debugging window opens as shown:

   

This section shows you how to use the Stateflow Debugging window to debug your Stateflow diagrams during simulation in the following topics:

• Setting Breakpoints for Debugging -- Shows you how to specify execution points in your target where execution stops for debugging purposes.
• Setting Error Checking in the Debugging Window -- Describes the optional error checking available in the Debugging window.
• Controlling Animation in the Debugging Window -- Shows you how to activate, deactivate, and control the speed of animation of Stateflow diagrams during simulation.
• Starting Simulation in the Debugging Window -- Shows you how to start simulation in the Debugging window and describes the items displayed in the Status Display Area of the Stateflow Debugging window when a breakpoint is encountered during simulation.
• Controlling the Execution Rate in the Debugging Window -- Describes the control buttons that you can use to control execution during simulation before and after breakpoints are encountered.
• Setting the Output Display Pane -- Describes the buttons you use during simulation to display information you use to debug your application.
