Model Configuration Parameters: Data Import/Export

The Data Import/Export pane of the Configuration Parameters dialog box includes parameters that configure options for loading data into your model and logging simulation results. The parameters allow you to load input signal data and initial state data into your model and to export output, signal, data store, and state data from simulations.

You can use built-in or custom MATLAB^® functions to generate input signals for a system and to graph, analyze, and postprocess simulation results.

Parameter	Description
Input	Option to load external input data for simulation using top-level input ports
Initial state	Option to specify initial model state or operating point for simulation
Time	Option to log time values for simulation
States	Option to log block state values during simulation
Output	Option to log data for top-level output ports
Final states	Option to log final state values
Save final operating point	Option to save complete model operating point when simulation is paused or stopped
Signal logging	Option to log data for signals marked for logging in model
Data stores	Option to log data for Data Store Memory blocks
Log data to file	Option to log data that uses Dataset format to MAT file
Single simulation output	Option to return simulation results as single Simulink.SimulationOutput object
Logging intervals	Option to specify time intervals in which to log simulation data
Save format	Format for logged states, output, and final states data
Dataset signal format	Option to specify whether values for Dataset elements use timeseries or timetable format
Record logged workspace data in Simulation Data Inspector	Option to send data logged in format other than Dataset to Data Inspector at end of simulation

These configuration parameters are in the Advanced parameters section.

Parameter	Description
Limit data points to last	Option to log only last n data points for outputs, states, and time
Decimation	Option to apply decimation factor for logged output, state, and time data
Output options	Options to produce output values at specified times in variable-step simulation
Refine factor	Option to produce additional output values between simulation time steps
Output times	Option to specify times for which variable-step simulation produces output values
Stream To Workspace blocks	Option to specify whether data logged using To Workspace blocks streams to the Simulation Data Inspector
