Test Harness for a Model

I have got Matlab R2009b version installed on my machine. I created a Simulink model which has 18 Inputs and 4 Outputs, automated C language code is generated using the model.

Is there a way for me to send 10 different values for each input signal with different time frames and expect the output using a script, if yes can you guide me? Also is there an approach for me to send these inputs through a spread sheet and capture the results in the .xls file.

If you are looking for a formalized way to do this, SystemTest is what you're looking for. There is also a demo that describes importing Excel data to perform this kind of testing.

Otherwise, you can use XLSREAD/XLSWRITE to interface MATLAB with Excel, and use the various techniques available in Simulink to import/export data.

For the systematic testing of Simulink models PikeTec offers the model based testing tool TPT http://piketec.com/products/tpt/matlab-simulink.php. The test harness can be generated automatically and the results will be given as an html report.
