xPC Target

getsignalid

Get the signal index or property name from the signal list

Syntax

MATLAB command line

getsignalid(target_object, 'block_name')
getsignalid(target_object, 'block_name', 'flag')

Arguments

target_object	Name of an existing target object.
block_name	Name of a Simulink block from you model.
flag	If flag = property, then return the property name for the signal. If flag = numeric, then return a number index. This argument is optional with the default behavior to return a number.

Description

Method of a target object. Returns the index or name of a signal from the signal list, based on the path to the signal name. The block names must be entered in full and are case-sensitive.

Examples

Get the property name for the parameter Gain in the Simulink block Gain1.

getsignalid(tg, 'Gain1') or tg.getsignal('Gain1')
ans = S6

Get the property index for the parameter Gain in the Simulink block Gain1.

getsignalid(tg, 'Gain1', 'Gain', 'numeric')
ans = 6

S6 is a property of the target object. For example, you could get the value of a signal with signal_6 = tg.s6.
