Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes

Return sample time information for a block

Syntax

ts = Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes(block)

Input Arguments

block

Full name or handle of a Simulink block

Output Arguments

ts

The command returnstswhich is a1xnarray of Simulink.SampleTime objects associated with the model passed to Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes. Heren是样品的数量乘以相关block. The format of the returns is:

1xn Simulink.SampleTime Package: Simulink
value: [1x2 double] Description: [char string] ColorRGBValue: [1x3 double] Annotation: [char string] OwnerBlock: [char string] ComponentSampleTimes: [1x2 struct]
Methods

  • value— A two-element array of doubles that contains the sample time period and offset

  • Description— A character vector or string that describes the sample time type

  • ColorRGBValue— A 1x3 array of doubles that contains the red, green and blue (RGB) values of the sample time color

  • Annotation— A character vector or string that represents the annotation of a specific sample time (e.g., 'D1')

  • OwnerBlock— For asynchronous and variable sample times, a character vector or string containing the full path to the block that controls the sample time. For all other types of sample times, an empty character vector or string.

  • ComponentSampleTimes— A structure array of elements of the same type asSimulink.BlockDiagram.getSampleTimesif the sample time is an async union or if the sample time is hybrid and the component sample times are available.

Description

ts = Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes(block) performs an update diagram and then returns the sample times of the block connected to the input argumentmdl/signal. This method performs an update diagram to ensure that the sample time information returned is up-to-date. If the model is already in the compiled state via a call to the model API, then an update diagram is not necessary.

Using this method allows you to access all information in the Sample Time Legend programmatically.
