Create Signal Data for Simulation

Create input data to load into a model as simulation input

Create input data to load into a model as simulation input. You can create signal data in the MATLAB® workspace or using the Signal Editor block.

Blocks

Signal EditorDisplay, create, edit, and switch interchangeable scenarios
Signal BuilderCreate and generate interchangeable groups of signals whose waveforms are piecewise linear

Functions

signalEditorStart Signal Editor
signalBuilderToSignalEditorImport signal data and properties from Signal Builder block to Signal Editor block
signalbuilder(Not recommended) Create and access Signal Builder blocks

Classes

Simulink.io.FileTypeBase class for file type readers for Simulink interfaces such as Signal Editor
Simulink.io.SignalBuilderSpreadsheetRead spreadsheet in format used by Signal Builder
