Rainflow counting function in Simulink

I want to make modeling Rainflow Counting calculation in Simulink with clock signal.

Below model is simple Rainflow counting model in Simulink by using Matlab Function block.

But, It is not working because it is more data(minimum 3 samples) at starting time to calculate Rainflow counting in Simulink.

Please, let me know how to fix it. Thanks.

Fig. 1) Simulink model

Code. 1) Matlab Function Code in Simulink Model

function [y_range, y_count] = fcn(input, time)

c = rainflow(input, time);

y_range = c(:,2);

y_count = c(:,1);

end

Error 1) Error Message

Simulink does not have enough information to determine output sizes for this block. If you think the errors below are inaccurate, try specifying types for the block inputs and/or sizes for the block outputs.

Function 'MATLAB Function' (#803. . .), line 3, column 5: "rainflow(input, time)"
