DSP Blockset

DSP Block Reference

Using the DSP Block Reference Chapter

This chapter contains complete information on every block in the DSP Blockset in a structured, accessible format. You should turn to this chapter when you need to find detailed information on a particular block. There are several ways to access these reference pages online:

• Press the Help button in a block dialog box.
• Right-click a block in a model, and select Help from the pop-up menu.
• Right-click a block in the Simulink Library Browser, and select Help from the pop-up menu.
• Type doc('block name') at the MATLAB command line.
• Expand the DSP Blockset entry in the Help Navigator, and select DSP Block Reference.

To learn the basic concepts behind building DSP models with Simulink, see Chapter 2, Simulink and the DSP Blockset. To find out about using blocks together for common DSP tasks, see Chapter 3, Working with Signals.

What Each Block Reference Page Contains

The block reference entries appear in alphabetical order and each contains most of the following sections.

Section	Description
"Purpose"	The purpose of the block.
"Library"	The library or libraries where the block can be found.
"Description"	A description of the block's use.
"Dialog Box"	The block's dialog box and parameters. Tunable parameters are labeled "Tunable". See About Tunable Parameters below.
"See Also"	A list of related blocks and functions.

About Tunable Parameters

Block dialog box parameters that can be adjusted while a simulation is running are called tunable parameters. In the "Dialog Box" section of the block reference pages, these parameters are indicated by the word "Tunable" in the parameter description. Parameters that are not labeled this way are not tunable; changing a nontunable parameter while the simulation is running generates an error, and suspends the simulation until the error dialog box is dismissed.
