Block behavior depends on frame status of signal

Description

Select the diagnostic action to take when Simulink® software encounters a block whose behavior depends on the frame status of a signal.

In future releases, frame status will no longer be a signal attribute. To prepare for this change, many blocks received a new parameter. This parameter allows you to specify whether the block treats its input as frames of data or as samples of data. Setting this parameter prepares your model for future releases by moving control of sample- and frame-based processing from the frame status of the signal to the block.

This diagnostic helps you identify whether any of the blocks in your model relies on the frame status of a signal. By knowing this status, you can determine whether the block performs sample- or frame-based processing. For more information, see the R2012a DSP System Toolbox™ Release Notes section about frame-based processing.

Note

Frame-based processing requires a DSP System Toolbox license.

Simulink software takes no action.

warning

If your model contains any blocks whose behavior depends on the frame status of a signal, Simulink software displays a warning.

error

If your model contains any blocks whose behavior depends on the frame status of a signal, Simulink software terminates the simulation and displays an error message.

Tips

  • Use the Upgrade Advisor to automatically update the blocks in your model. See Model Upgrades.
