Setting Properties for All Charts in the Model

You can set some properties for all charts in the model by setting properties for the Stateflow machine for a model. The Stateflow machine for a model represents all of the Stateflow blocks in a model.

To set properties for the Stateflow machine, do the following:

1. In the Chart properties dialog for a particular Stateflow chart, select the Machine link at the top of the dialog.

1. The Machine properties dialog box appears.

   

   See Setting Properties for Individual Charts for instructions on accessing the Chart properties dialog for a Stateflow chart.

2. Enter information in the fields provided as described below.
   
   

   Field	Description
   Simulink Model	Name of the Simulink model that defines this Stateflow machine, which is read-only. You change the model name in Simulink when you save the model under a chosen file name.
   Creation Date	Date on which this machine was created.
   Creator	Name of the person who created this Stateflow machine.
   Modified	Time of the most recent modification of this Stateflow machine.
   Version	Version number of this Stateflow machine.
   Enable C-like bit operations	If you select this box, all new charts recognize C bitwise operators (~, &, |, ^, >>, and so on) in action language statements and encode these operators as C bitwise operations. You can enable or disable this option for individual charts or all charts in the model in an individual chart's property dialog box. See Setting Properties for Individual Charts for a detailed explanation of this property.
   Description	Brief description of this Stateflow machine, which is stored with the model that defines it.
   Document Link	MATLAB expression that, when evaluated, displays documentation for this Stateflow machine.

3. Click one of the following:
• Apply saves the changes.
• Cancel closes the dialog without making any changes.
• OK saves the changes and closes the dialog box.
• Help displays the Stateflow online help in an HTML browser window.
