stopRecording

Stops signal data live streaming and File Log logging

Syntax

stopRecording(target_object)

Description

stopRecording(target_object) disables logging in the application and closes the run in the Simulation Data Inspector. The function disables the File Log logging, imports (based on the AutoImportFileLog flag) the File Log data into the Simulation Data Inspector in the current run, exports the data to base workspace based on the flag 'ExportToBaseWorkspace', and stops live streaming. Every time that signal logging and streaming is disabled by using the stopRecording function, Stop Recording button, or disabling the Enable File Log block closes a log run on the target computer.

The stopRecording function operation responds to the setting of the AutoImportFileLog option. The File Log data from the target is imported if the AutoImportFileLog option is true when you use the stopRecording function.

If the model includes an Enable File Log block, the stopRecording function only stops signal streaming. The block controls signal logging. Also, if the model includes an Enable File Log block, the AutoImportFileLog option has no effect.

For more information about the file logging workflow, see Signal Logging and Streaming Basics.

Examples

Stop Recording on Target Computer

Use the stopRecording function to stop recording on the target computer. You also can use the Stop Recording button on the Real-Time tab in the Simulink Editor or in the Simulink Real-Time Explorer.

tg = slrealtime;
load(tg,'slrt_ex_osc')
start(tg);
stopRecording(tg);

Input Arguments

target_object — Object that represents target computer

slrealtime.Target object

Provides access to methods that manipulate the target computer properties.

Example: tg

Version History

Introduced in R2022a

R2022b: Added Dashboard Block Compatibility

Added compatibility with Simulink dashboard blocks to the startRecording function and stopRecording function. When a model includes Simulink dashboard blocks, using the startRecording function or stopRecording function does not generate an error.

R2022b: Made Start and Stop Logging and Streaming Independent of Real-Time Application

You can set the start or stop state for logging and streaming independent of the run or stop state of the real-time application. This independence lets you start a real-time application with logging and streaming stopped by using the stopRecording function or the Stop Recording button on the Real-Time tab in the Simulink Editor or in the Simulink Real-Time Explorer.
