getLogAsSpecifiedInModel

Determine whether model logs as specified in model or uses override settings

Syntax

logMode = getLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdl)

Description

logMode = getLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdl) returns one of these values:

• 1 (true) — The model specified by mdl is logged as specified in the model.

• 0 (false) — The model specified by mdl is logged using the override settings specified in the Signals property of the model logging override object mdlInfo.

Examples

Set Logging Mode of Model Logging Override Object

You can use the setLogAsSpecifiedInModel function to override signal logging settings specified in a model. For example, you can log only the top model or only a referenced model in a model hierarchy.

Open the IterativeCounter project. The project opens the CounterSystem model at startup. This model contains a Model block that references the CounterAlgorithm model. In total, four signals are marked for logging. The top model has three signals marked for logging: BatchData, Controls, and OuterCount. The referenced model has one signal marked for logging: InnerCount.

openProject("IterativeCounter");
mdl = 'CounterSystem';
mdlInner = 'CounterSystem/Model';

Create an empty Simulink.SimulationData.ModelLoggingInfo object so that no signals are logged when the logging mode is set to the override settings specified in the Signals property.

mdlInfo = Simulink.SimulationData.ModelLoggingInfo(mdl);

You can use the setLogAsSpecifiedInModel function to log only signals in the top model using the logging settings specified in that model. Set the outer model to log signals as specified in the model. Then, set the inner model to use override settings. Since the Signals property vector is empty, no signals are logged when override settings are applied.

mdlInfo = setLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdl,true);
mdlInfo = setLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdlInner,false);

The getLogAsSpecifiedInModel function returns the logging mode.

outerLogMode = getLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdl)

outerLogMode = logical
   1

innerLogMode = getLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdlInner)

innerLogMode = logical
   0

Apply the model override object settings. Then, simulate the model. The software logs only those signals marked for logging in the top model.

set_param(mdl,DataLoggingOverride=mdlInfo);
out1 = sim(mdl);
out1.logsout

ans = 
Simulink.SimulationData.Dataset 'logsout' with 3 elements

                         Name        BlockPath                 
                         __________  _________________________ 
    1  [1x1 Signal]      BatchData   CounterSystem/Concatenate
    2  [1x1 Signal]      OuterCount  CounterSystem/Model      
    3  [1x1 Signal]      Controls    CounterSystem/Subsystem  

  - Use braces { } to access, modify, or add elements using index.

You can also use the setLogAsSpecifiedInModel function to log only signals in the referenced model using the logging settings specified in that model. Set the outer model to use override settings. Then, set the inner model to log signals as specified in the model.

mdlInfo = setLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdl,false);
mdlInfo = setLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdlInner,true);

To verify that the logging mode for the top model and inner model have changed, you can use the getLogAsSpecifiedInModel function.

outerLogMode = getLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdl)

outerLogMode = logical
   0

innerLogMode = getLogAsSpecifiedInModel(mdlInfo,mdlInner)

innerLogMode = logical
   1

Apply the model override object settings. Then, simulate the model. This time, the software logs only the InnerCount signal.

set_param(mdl,DataLoggingOverride=mdlInfo);
out2 = sim(mdl);
out2.logsout

ans = 
Simulink.SimulationData.Dataset 'logsout' with 1 element

                         Name        BlockPath                                
                         __________  ________________________________________ 
    1  [1x1 Signal]      InnerCount  ...l|CounterAlgorithm/For Each Subsystem

  - Use braces { } to access, modify, or add elements using index.

Input Arguments

mdlInfo — Model logging override object

Simulink.SimulationData.ModelLoggingInfo object

Model logging override object, specified as a Simulink.SimulationData.ModelLoggingInfo object.

mdl — Target model

character vector

Target model, specified as a character vector. You can define the target model using one of these options:
