Convert Fixed-Point Conversion Project to MATLAB Scripts

This example shows how to convert a Fixed-Point Converter app project to a MATLAB^® script. You can use the -tocode option of the fixedPointConverter command to create a script for fixed-point conversion. You can use the script to repeat the project workflow in a command-line workflow. Before you convert the project to a script, you must complete the Test step of the fixed-point conversion process.

Prerequisites
Generate the Scripts
Run Script That Generates Fixed-Point MATLAB Code

Prerequisites

This example uses the following files:

Project file ex_2ndOrder_filter.prj
Entry-point file ex_2ndOrder_filter.m
Test bench file ex_2ndOrder_filter_test.m
Generated fixed-point MATLAB file ex_2ndOrder_filter_fixpt.m

To obtain these files, complete the example Propose Data Types Based on Simulation Ranges, including the Test step.

Generate the Scripts

Change to the folder that contains the project file ex_2ndOrder_filter.prj.
Use the -tocode option of the fixedPointConverter command to convert the project to a script. Use the -script option to specify the file name for the script.
```
fixedPointConverter -tocode ex_2ndOrder_filter -script ex_2ndOrder_filter_script.m
```
The fixedPointConverter command generates a script in the current folder. ex_2ndOrder_filter_script.m contains the MATLAB commands to:
- Create a floating-point to fixed-point conversion configuration object that has the same fixed-point conversion settings as the project.
- Run the fiaccel command to convert the MATLAB function ex_2ndOrder_filter to the fixed-point MATLAB function ex_2ndOrder_filter_fixpt.
The fiaccel command overwrites existing files that have the same name as the generated script. If you omit the -script option, the fiaccel command returns the script in the Command Window.

Run Script That Generates Fixed-Point MATLAB Code

If you want to regenerate the fixed-point function, use the generated script.

Make sure that the current folder contains the entry-point function ex_2ndOrder_filter.m and the test bench file ex_2ndOrder_filter_test.m.
Run the script.
```
 ex_2ndOrder_filter_script
```
The script generates ex_2ndOrder_filter_fixpt.m in the folder codegen\ex_2ndOrder_filter\fixpt. The variables cfg and ARGS appear in the base workspace.
