Hi, I am getting this error in simulink. can anybody help how can be removed this error ? I only get this error when I attach switch with my ADC block. Also, I have attached the design snap.
The signal at input port 1 of 'ADC_Sign_E_ref_12/Switch2' is a variable-size signal with a nondiscrete sample time. The sample time for any variable-size signal must be discrete.

When a MATLAB Function Block is used, Simulink would tend to assume that the output is variable length. I would not count on the analyzer being able to prove that the output will be scalar: I would recommend configuring the output port.
Also can you post the code so we can see if there is an accidental variable length output path?

Yes sir. I can list code here also I have attached the model. So when you run the model you will see that error and it would be easy to diagnose. I think also it's configuring issue. But I don't know how to configure the output port.
here Vin, Vip are the sampler values.
ADC code:
function y = ADC(Vin, Vip)
coder.extrinsic('stem');
coder.extrinsic('get_param')
sim_t=get_param('ADC_Sign_E_ref_12','SimulationTime')
Nbit = 7;
Vref = 64;
% generating empty plot
ax1=subplot(2,2,([3,4]));
ax2=subplot(2,2,([3,4]));
axis ([ax1 ax2], [0 0.2 -64 64]);
title('Dout Scaler Value');
xlabel('Time(s)');
ylabel('Amplitude');
hold on;
persistent Dout;
if isempty(Dout)
Dout = zeros(1,2);
end
persistent B;
if isempty(B)
B = zeros(1,Nbit);
end
% Conventional Set-and-Down SAR ADC
% 64C, 32C, 16C, 8C, 4C, 2C, C, C
Vxp = Vip;
Vxn = Vin;
for kbit = 1:Nbit
if Vxp - Vxn > 0
B(kbit) = 1;
Vxp = Vxp - Vref*2^(-kbit);
else
B(kbit) = 0;
Vxn = Vxn - Vref*2^(-kbit);
end
end
Dout = B(1)*64 + B(2)*32 + B(3)*16 + B(4)*8 + B(5)*4 + B(6)*2 + B(7)*1 -64 +0.5 ;
stem(sim_t,Dout);
hold on;
y = Dout;
The control signal of switch is coming from below cnt block. The control signal either 0 or 1.
cnt block code:
function y = clk(ip1)
persistent x;
persistent i;
persistent cnt;
persistent out;
if isempty(x) % Initialization
x=1;
end
if isempty(out) % Initialization
out=1;
end
if isempty(cnt) % Initialization
cnt=1;
end
if isempty(i) % Initialization
i=0;
end
while i>=0
cnt = ip1+i;
i=i+1;
break
end
if cnt ==x
out=1;
x=x+4;
else if cnt~=x
out=0;
end
end
y=out;
Please have a look. Thanks
