Topics

Convert Sample and Frame Rates in Simulink

Learn how operations such as direct rate conversion and frame rebuffering impact the sample and frame rates if your signal.

Sample- and Frame-Based Concepts

Introduction to real-world sample- and frame-based signals, and how to model those signals in MATLAB® and Simulink®.

Buffering and Frame-Based Processing

Convert signals of frame size 1 into signals of frame size greater than 1, and vice versa.

Inspect Sample and Frame Rates in Simulink

Learn how to determine the sample and frame rates of signals in your model.

Delay and Latency

Why Does Reading Data from the dsp.AsyncBuffer Object Give a Dimension Mismatch Error in the MATLAB Function Block?

Resolve the dimension mismatch error when you read data from an async buffer inside the MATLAB function block.

Why Does the dsp.AsyncBuffer Object Error When You Call read Before write?

Initialize the async buffer by calling either setup or write before the first call to read.
