Customize System Objects for Simulink

Customize System object™ for use in MATLAB System block

The MATLAB System block enables a System object defined in MATLAB^® to be used as a block in Simulink^®. To control the block appearance or output, or to enable System object usage in a For Each subsystem, use the provided implementation methods to customize your System object. For more information about defining a System object, see Define Basic System Objects or System Objects.
