Data Transfers
Data transfers exist between blocks that represent callable functions and exchange data over a signal line. Learn about what to consider when modeling these data exchanges, including rate transitions that occur between participating blocks configured to use different sample times. For multirate models, control data transfer behavior in generated code by inserting and configuring Rate Transition blocks. Enable diagnostics for detecting data transfer issues in a model.
Blocks
| IC | Set initial value of signal |
| Initialize Function | Execute subsystem on model initialize event |
| Rate Transition | Handle transfer of data between blocks operating at different rates |
Model Settings
| Allow tasks to execute concurrently on target | Option to enable concurrent tasking behavior for model |
| Automatically handle rate transition for data transfer | Option to ensure integrity of data transfer between different sample times in deployed code |
| Deterministic data transfer | Deterministic data transfer behavior for automatically inserted Rate Transition blocks |
| Higher priority value indicates higher task priority | Priority ordering for real-time system targets |
| Multitask data transfer | |
| Periodic sample time constraint | Option to specify constraints on model sample times |
| Rate Transition block code | Format for rate transition block code and data |
| Single task data transfer | |
| Tasks with equal priority |
