Simulink® software takes no action.

warning

Simulink software displays a warning.

Simulink software terminates the simulation and displays an error message.

Tips

  • This diagnostic applies only to overflows which saturate for integer and fixed-point data types.

  • To check for floating-point overflows (for example, Inf or NaN) for double or single data types, select the Inf or NaN block output diagnostic. (See Inf or NaN block output for more information.)
