Description

The Heading Indicator block displays measurements for aircraft heading in degrees.

The block represents values between 0 and 360 degrees.

Tip

To facilitate understanding and debugging your model, you can modify instrument block connections in your model during normal and accelerator mode simulations.

Parameters

Connection — Connect to signal

signal name

Connect to signal for display, selected from list of signal names.

To view the data from a signal, select a signal in the model. The signal appears in the Connection table. Select the option button next to the signal you want to display. Click Apply to connect the signal.

The table has a row for the signal connected to the block. If there are no signals selected in the model, or the block is not connected to any signals, the table is empty.
