In Simulink Callback How to Automatically Display a Table of results, like what one can do with figure; plot()

I am trying to display the results of a simulink simulation model that reads and writes to simulated memory.

I have a function call to display these results, as a table, in the StopFcn callback in the model.

The callback will open figures and plot data automatically but I can't do the same with a table.

I would like the user/tester to be able to see the results pop up in table form (such as with figure;plot()) and not have to go search for a table in the workspace.

Hi Kathy,

To display the results of a Simulink simulation as a table in a pop-up window, you can use the `uitable` function in MATLAB.

I have created a dummy Simulink Model using a `sine wave` block along with a `Scope` block.

Add the following function in a MATLAB (.m) file:

function myStopFcnCallback(simout) 

    % Extract the simulation results 
    data = simout.tout; 

    % Create a new figure 
    figure; 

    % Create a uitable to display the results 
    uitable('Data', data, 'Position', [20 20 400 300]); 

end 

In the Simulink Model, call the function defined above through the Stop Function Callback. To do so, go to:

Model Settings (dropdown) > Model Properties > StopFcn*

Write this in the `Simulation stop function` text box to the right side:

myStopFcnCallback(out); 

I have attached the `demoTable.slx` model along with the `myStopFcnCallback.m` script file for your reference.
