Using Simulink    

Specifying Block Parameter Data Types

When entering block parameters whose data type is user-specifiable, use the syntax

to specify the parameter, where type is the name of the data type and value is the parameter value. The following examples illustrate this syntax.

single(1.0)
Specifies a single-precision value of 1.0
int8(2)
Specifies an eight-bit integer of value 2
int32(3+2i)
Specifies a complex value whose real and imaginary parts are 32-bit integers
