Simulink.sdi.DiffRunResult
Access run comparison results
Description
The Simulink.sdi.DiffRunResult
object provides access to
run comparison metadata and comparison results. Use the
getSignalByIndex
function to access the metadata and comparison
results for each signal in the run comparison.
Creation
A Simulink.sdi.DiffRunResult
object is created when you perform a
comparison using the Simulation Data Inspector.
When you compare data using the UI, use the
Simulink.sdi.getCurrentComparison
function to access the
results in a Simulink.sdi.DiffRunResult
object.
Programmatic comparisons using the Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function or the compare
function return a DiffRunResult
object.

cell array
This property is read-only.
Configuration options used for the comparison, returned as an
n-by-2
cell array. Each row in the
cell array corresponds to an option used by the comparison. Every comparison
requires that aligned signal units match, so the Options
property always includes a row to indicate that units must match. Other
possible configuration options correspond to these name-value pairs for the
Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function:
DataType
Time
StartStop
StopOnFirstMismatch

Examples
Analyze Simulation Data Using Signal Tolerances
You can programmatically specify signal tolerance values to use in comparisons performed using the Simulation Data Inspector. In this example, you compare data collected by simulating a model of an aircraft longitudinal flight control system. Each simulation uses a different value for the input filter time constant and logs the input and output signals. You analyze the effect of the time constant change by comparing results using the Simulation Data Inspector and signal tolerances.
First, load the session file that contains the simulation data.
Simulink.sdi.load('AircraftExample.mldatx');
The session file contains four runs. In this example, you compare data from the first two runs in the file. Access the Simulink.sdi.Run
objects for the first two runs loaded from the file.
runIDs = Simulink.sdi.getAllRunIDs; runIDTs1 = runIDs(end-3); runIDTs2 = runIDs(end-2);
Compare the two runs without specifying any tolerances.
noTolDiffResult = Simulink.sdi.compareRuns(runIDTs1,runIDTs2);
Use the getResultByIndex
function to access the comparison results for the q
and alpha
signals.
qResult = getResultByIndex(noTolDiffResult,1); alphaResult = getResultByIndex(noTolDiffResult,2);
Check the Status
property of each signal result to see whether the comparison result falls within or out of tolerance.
qResult.Status
ans = ComparisonSignalStatus enumeration OutOfTolerance
alphaResult.Status
ans = ComparisonSignalStatus enumeration OutOfTolerance
The comparison uses a value of 0
for all tolerances, so the OutOfTolerance
result means the signals are not identical.
You can further analyze the effect of the time constant by specifying tolerance values for the signals. Specify the tolerances by setting the properties for the Simulink.sdi.Signal
objects that correspond to the signals being compared. Comparisons use tolerances specified for the baseline signals. This example specifies a time tolerance and an absolute tolerance.
To specify a tolerance, first access the Signal
objects from the baseline run.
runTs1 = Simulink.sdi.getRun(runIDTs1); qSig = getSignalsByName(runTs1,'q, rad/sec'); alphaSig = getSignalsByName(runTs1,'alpha, rad');
For the q
signal, specify an absolute tolerance of 0.1
and a time tolerance of 0.6
using the AbsTol
and TimeTol
properties, respectively.
qSig.AbsTol = 0.1; qSig.TimeTol = 0.6;
For the alpha
signal, specify an absolute tolerance of 0.2
and a time tolerance of 0.8
.
alphaSig.AbsTol = 0.2; alphaSig.TimeTol = 0.8;
Compare the results again. Access the results from the comparison and check the Status
property for each signal.
tolDiffResult = Simulink.sdi.compareRuns(runIDTs1,runIDTs2); qResult2 = getResultByIndex(tolDiffResult,1); alphaResult2 = getResultByIndex(tolDiffResult,2); qResult2.Status
ans = ComparisonSignalStatus enumeration WithinTolerance
alphaResult2.Status
ans = ComparisonSignalStatus enumeration WithinTolerance
Configure Comparisons to Check Metadata
You can use the Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function to compare signal data and metadata, including data type and start and stop times. A single comparison may check for mismatches in one or more pieces of metadata. When you check for mismatches in signal metadata, the Summary
property of the Simulink.sdi.DiffRunResult
object may differ from a basic comparison because the Status
property for a Simulink.sdi.DiffSignalResult
object can indicate the metadata mismatch. You can configure comparisons using the Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function for imported data and for data logged from a simulation.
This example configures a comparison of runs created from workspace data three ways to show how the Summary
of the DiffSignalResult
object can provide specific information about signal mismatches.
Create Workspace Data
The Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function compares time series data. Create data for a sine wave to use as the baseline signal, using the timeseries
format. Give the timeseries
the name Wave Data
.
time = 0:0.1:20;
sig1vals = sin(2*pi/5*time);
sig1_ts = timeseries(sig1vals,time);
sig1_ts.Name = 'Wave Data';
Create a second sine wave to compare against the baseline signal. Use a slightly different time vector and attenuate the signal so the two signals are not identical. Cast the signal data to the single
data type. Also name this timeseries
object Wave Data
. The Simulation Data Inspector comparison algorithm will align these signals for comparison using the name.
time2 = 0:0.1:22;
sig2vals = single(0.98*sin(2*pi/5*time2));
sig2_ts = timeseries(sig2vals,time2);
sig2_ts.Name = 'Wave Data';
Create and Compare Runs in the Simulation Data Inspector
The Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function compares data contained in Simulink.sdi.Run
objects. Use the Simulink.sdi.createRun
function to create runs in the Simulation Data Inspector for the data. The Simulink.sdi.createRun
function returns the run ID for each created run.
runID1 = Simulink.sdi.createRun('Baseline Run','vars',sig1_ts); runID2 = Simulink.sdi.createRun('Compare to Run','vars',sig2_ts);
You can use the Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function to compare the runs. The comparison algorithm converts the signal data to the double
data type and synchronizes the signal data before computing the difference signal.
basic_DRR = Simulink.sdi.compareRuns(runID1,runID2);
Check the Summary
property of the returned Simulink.sdi.DiffRunResult
object to see the result of the comparison.
basic_DRR.Summary
ans = struct with fields:
OutOfTolerance: 1
WithinTolerance: 0
Unaligned: 0
UnitsMismatch: 0
Empty: 0
Canceled: 0
EmptySynced: 0
DataTypeMismatch: 0
TimeMismatch: 0
StartStopMismatch: 0
Unsupported: 0
The difference between the signals is out of tolerance.
Compare Runs and Check for Data Type Match
Depending on your system requirements, you may want the data types for signals you compare to match. You can use the Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function to configure the comparison algorithm to check for and report data type mismatches.
dataType_DRR = Simulink.sdi.compareRuns(runID1,runID2,'DataType','MustMatch'); dataType_DRR.Summary
ans = struct with fields:
OutOfTolerance: 0
WithinTolerance: 0
Unaligned: 0
UnitsMismatch: 0
Empty: 0
Canceled: 0
EmptySynced: 0
DataTypeMismatch: 1
TimeMismatch: 0
StartStopMismatch: 0
Unsupported: 0
The result of the signal comparison is now DataTypeMismatch
because the data for the baseline signal is double
data type, while the data for the signal compared to the baseline is single
data type.
Compare Runs and Check for Start and Stop Time Match
You can use the Simulink.sdi.compareRuns
function to configure the comparison algorithm to check whether the aligned signals have the same start and stop times.
startStop_DRR = Simulink.sdi.compareRuns(runID1,runID2,'StartStop','MustMatch'); startStop_DRR.Summary
ans = struct with fields:
OutOfTolerance: 0
WithinTolerance: 0
Unaligned: 0
UnitsMismatch: 0
Empty: 0
Canceled: 0
EmptySynced: 0
DataTypeMismatch: 0
TimeMismatch: 0
StartStopMismatch: 1
Unsupported: 0
The signal comparison result is now StartStopMismatch
because the signals created in the workspace have different stop times.
