Stateflow User's Guide

Adding Data

Stateflow can store and retrieve data that resides internally in its own workspace. It can also access data that resides externally in the Simulink model or application that embeds the Stateflow chart. When creating a Stateflow model, define any internal or external data referenced by Stateflow actions as described in the following topics:

• Adding Data to the Data Dictionary -- Describes how to add a data object to any object in a Stateflow chart, to the chart itself, or to the Stateflow machine.
• Defining Temporary Data -- Describes temporary data that you can only define only a function.
• Sharing Input and Output Data with Simulink -- Describes how to specify data input from and output to Simulink in a Stateflow diagram.
