Starting Simulation in the Debugging Window

To debug the Stateflow diagrams in a model, you start simulation in the Debugging window with the following steps:

1. Select the Start button.

1. A debugging simulation session starts. When a breakpoint that you set is encountered, the Stateflow Debugging window takes on the following appearance:

   

At the breakpoint, the following status items are displayed in the upper portion of the Debugger window:

• Stopped -- Displays the step executed just prior to breaking execution.
• Executing -- Displays the currently executing Stateflow chart.
• Current Event -- Displays the event being processed by the Stateflow chart.
• Simulink Time -- Displays the current simulation time.
• Code Coverage -- Displays the percentage of code covered in this simulation.

During simulation the Stateflow diagram is marked read-only. The appearance of the Stateflow diagram editor toolbar and menus changes so that object creation is not possible. When the diagram editor is in this read-only mode, its condition is referred to as iced.
