Signal Monitoring and Tracing with MATLAB

Signal visualization with and without real-time information

If you require only the signal value, not the time at which it reached that value, monitor the signal with MATLAB^®. See Signal Monitoring Basics.

If you require the signal value and the time at which it reached that value, mark signals for logging with the Simulation Data Inspector or add a File Log to your model. See Signal Tracing Basics.
