Logging intervals

Description

Set intervals for logging

Category: Data Import/Export

Settings

Default:[-inf,inf]

  • Use a real double matrix with two columns.

  • The matrix elements cannot be NaN.

  • You can specify as many intervals as you want.

  • Each row defines the start and end times for an interval.

  • Intervals must be disjoint and ordered. For example, you can specify these three intervals: [1,5;6,10;11,15]

Tips

  • The logging intervals apply to data logged for:

    • Time

    • States

    • Output

    • Signal logging

    • The To Workspace block

    • The To File block

    The logging intervals do not apply to final state logged data, scopes or streaming data to the Simulation Data Inspector.

  • PIL simulation mode does not support logging intervals. Simulink® ignores specified logging intervals, without displaying a warning.

  • SIL simulation mode supports logging intervals for data logged to a Simulink.SimulationOutput object. In SIL mode, Simulink ignores specified logging intervals, without displaying a warning, for:

    • Data logged to a To File block

    • MAT-file logging (enabled with the MAT-file logging configuration parameter)

  • The interval times that meet either of these two conditions do not return logged data:

    • The time is before the simulation start time.

    • The time is after the simulation stop time.

    Interval times that meet these conditions do not cause a warning.

  • All logged data, except for data logged to a To File block, is stored in the object you specify for the Single simulation output parameter. Data for the To File block reflects the specified intervals, but is stored in the file associated with the block.

  • To prevent logging of To Workspace blocks, set Logging intervals to an empty matrix ([]).

  • If you set Decimation to 2, then the logged data is for alternating times in the intervals. In other words, data is for times 2, 4, and 8.

  • If you set Limit data points to last to 4, then the logged data is for the last four times in the intervals. In other words, data is for times 4, 7, 8, and 9.

  • Simulation Stepper rollback reflects logging intervals. If you change the logging intervals of a simulation before rollback, logging:

    • Includes data starting with the first step after the rollback

    • Does not include data for time steps that are outside of the original logging intervals

Dependency

This parameter is enabled only if you select the Single simulation output parameter.
