How can I set Simulink Logging's input processing default at Columns as channels (frame based)?

For MATLAB 2022a Simulink, I want to set the default of my newly added loggers to frame based, or columns as channels, so that when I click on the logger in the model, it can just bring me to the corresponding data in SDI instead of giving me an error. Is there a way I can do that? Thanks.

Yes, you can set the default logging format for newly added loggers in Simulink by following these steps:

1. Open the Simulink preferences by clicking on the "Simulink" menu at the top of the MATLAB window and selecting "Preferences."
2. In the "Simulink Preferences" window, select the "Data Management" category from the list on the left.
3. Under "Data Logging," you will see a dropdown menu for "Logging format for newly created data logs." Select "Frame-based" or "Columns as channels" as per your requirement.
4. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Now, whenever you add a new logger to your Simulink model, it will automatically be set to the default logging format that you selected in the preferences. This will prevent the errors you were experiencing and make it easier to navigate the logged data in the Simulation Data Inspector (SDI).

Is this the Simulink Preferences window you are saying?

I don't see the data managmeent category in the list

Any update on this? I also don't see "Data Management" in either the MATLAB nor Simulink preferences windows, nor in the model settings in Data Import/Export.

I'd like my model to default to logging multidimensional signals as channels, but I can't find a way to do this.

Alternatively, if there's a way to convert all the data in the Data Inspector into channels in one button instead of having to do it signal-by-signal that would also be helpful.

I'm using MATLAB R2022a

The Mathworks person who works in our company said there is currently no default option for this, and Vijeta is no longer working in the Mathworks from India.
