New to Simulink, output of control system is tout

Hi, I tried to set up a simple control system and when I press run there is only an output vector called tout that is generated. I looked at the output values and it is just equivalent to linspace(1.9639, 2.5, 1000)'

What can I do to get a graphical output?

What should I read in order to better understand my problem?

Go to your model, select menu Simulation>Configuration Parameters ..., on the left column, select Data import/export, tout is the default output of the time steps. You can check those options to specify inputs, output and signals. But you need to understand that the inputs/outputs are for root-level Inport and Outport block. Signal logging requires some other work. Best way for you to plot or see the graph is to drag a Scope block to your model and connect it to whatever signal you want to view.

Start with Matlab document, read the user guide on Simulink. There a few video to get you jump-started.

Thanks for the help.

I found the block diagram I had set up was ok. When I double clicked the scope block an output was generated. When I pressed the binocs, I could see the result I was looking for.
