Block

The OpMonitoringStart block enables you to monitor certain parts of a model.

OpMonitoringStart block

Mask

OpMonitoringStart mask.

Description

The OpMonitoringStart block enables you to monitor certain parts of a model. This block must be used with a OpMonitoringStop block The following figures shows how to insert the block inside a subsystem.

Figure 5: Monitoring blocks have been added

Figure 6: Monitoring blocks have been regrouped inside an atomic subsystem

Figure 7: Inside the atomic subsystem

An atomic subsystem must be placed between the two blocks to force Simulink to compute all the blocks inside this subsystem before outputting the values. Then atomic subsystem and monitoring block must be grouped inside an atomic subsystem to ensure the order of these blocks remains unchanged (i.e. OpMonitoringStart must call before OpMonitoringStop during a computation step).

Parameters

Inputs

This block has no inputs.

Outputs

The outport must be connected to an atomic subsystem. The output's value could not be used inside the model, connection is only used to force order block by the Simulink scheduler.

Characteristics and Limitations

This block has no special characteristics.
