Signal Logging with MATLAB

Signal value logging

To log signal values and times, mark signals for logging with the Simulation Data Inspector or add a File Log to your model.

A File Log block collects signal data on the target computer that is sent to the development computer after each simulation run. Or, if the target computer is not connected to the development computer, you can upload the data to the development computer when you connect to the target computer.

Background

Signal Logging Basics

Acquire signal data while running a real-time application and transfer the data to the development computer for analysis.

MATLAB Interface

Target and Application Objects

Use the MATLAB® Command Window to change properties and control the target computer and your real-time application.

Instrumentation Apps for Real-Time Applications

Interface with your real-time application by using instrument panel apps.

Parameter Tuning and Data Logging

Use real-time parameter tuning and data logging with Simulink® Real-Time™. After the example builds the model and downloads the real-time application, slrt_ex_param_tuning, to the target computer, the example executes multiple runs with the gain 'Gain1/Gain' changed (tuned) before each run. The gain sweeps from 0.1 to 0.7 in steps of 0.05.
