The Argument Outport block accepts real or complex signals of any data
type that Simulink® supports. An Argument Outport block can also accept
fixed-point and enumerated data types when the block is not a root-level
output port. The Argument Outport block also accepts a bus object as a
data type.
The complexity and data type of the block input are the same as the
argument output. You can specify the signal type and data type of an
output argument from an Argument Outport block using the
Signal type and Data type
parameters. For more information, see Data Types Supported by Simulink.
Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated | bus
Port number — Specify port number of block 1 (default) | integer
Specify the order in which the port that corresponds to the block appears
in the parent subsystem or model block.
1
Specify the first port location for this block.
integer
Specify location of port.
Programmatic Use
Block parameter:Port
Type: character vector
Value:'1' | '<integer>'
Default:'1'
Argument name — Specify output argument name u (default) | character vector
Specify output argument name for the function prototype displayed on the
face of the Simulink Function block.
u
Default name of the output argument.
character vector
Name of the output argument.
Programmatic Use
Block parameter:ArgumentName
Type: character vector
Value:'u' | '<character
vector>'
Default:'u'
Minimum — Specify minimum value for block input [] (default) | number
Specify the minimum value for the block input signal.
Note
If you specify a bus object as the data type for this block, do not
set the minimum value for bus data on the block. Simulink ignores this setting. Instead, set the minimum values for
bus elements of the bus object specified as the data type. For
information on the Minimum property of a bus element, see Simulink.BusElement.
Simulink uses this value to perform Simulation range checking (see
Specify Signal Ranges) and
automatic scaling of fixed-point data types.
[]
Minimum value not specified.
number
Finite real double scalar value.
Programmatic Use
Block parameter:OutMin
Type: character vector
Value:'[]' | '<number>'
Default:'[]'
Maximum — Specify maximum value for block input [] (default) | number
Specify the maximum value for the block input signal.
Note
If you specify a bus object as the data type for this block, do not
set the maximum value for bus data on the block. Simulink ignores this setting. Instead, set the maximum values for
bus elements of the bus object specified as the data type. For
information on the Maximum property of a bus element, see Simulink.BusElement.
Simulink uses this value to perform Simulation range checking (see
Specify Signal Ranges) and
automatic scaling of fixed-point data types.
[]
Max mum value not specified.
number
Finite real double scalar value.
Programmatic Use
Block parameter:OutMax
Type: character vector
Value:'[]' | '<number>'
Default:'[]'
Data type — Specify block input data type double (default) | single | int8 | uint8 | int16 | uint16 | int32 | uint32 | int64 | uint64 | boolean | fixdt(1,16) | fixdt(1,16,0) | fixdt(1,16,2^,0) | Enum: <class name> | Bus: <object name> | <data type expression>
Specify block input data type. For more information, see
Data type is enumerated, for example, Enum: Basic
Colors.
Bus: <object name>
Data type is a Simulink.Bus object.
<data type expression>
The name of a data type object, for example
Simulink.NumericType
Tips
You cannot enter the name of a Simulink.Bus object as
a data type expression. To specify the Data type
for the block using a Bus object, select the
Bus: <object name> option and replace
<object name> with the name of the
Bus object.
Lock output data type setting against changes by the fixed-point tools — Prevent fixed-point tools from overriding data type off (default) | on
Control changes to data type settings from the Fixed-Point Tool and the
Fixed-Point Advisor. For more information, see Use Lock Output Data Type Setting (Fixed-Point Designer).
On
Locks all data type settings for this block.
Off
Allows the Fixed-Point Tool and the Fixed-Point Advisor to
change data type settings for this block.
Programmatic Use
Block parameter:LockScale
Type: character vector
Value:'off' | 'on'
Default:'off'
Port dimensions — Specify port dimensions 1 (default) | n | [m n]
Specify the dimensions of the output argument signal from the block. For
more information, see Outport.
1
Inherit port dimensions.
n
Vector signal of width n.
[m n]
Matrix signal having m rows and
n columns.
Programmatic Use
Block parameter:PortDimensions
Type: character vector
Value:'1' | 'n' | '[m
n]'
Default:'1'
Signal type — Select real or complex signal real (default) | complex
Select real or complex signal. For more information, see Outport.
