Fixed-Point Conversion
Convert floating-point code to fixed point, optimize
fixed-point data types (requires Fixed-Point Designer™)
If you have the Fixed-Point Designer product, to meet target hardware constraints, generate fixed-point C/C++ code.
Classes

Functions
coder | Open MATLAB Coder app |
codegen | Generate C/C++ code from MATLAB code |
coder.config | Create code generation configuration objects |
coder.approximation | Create function replacement configuration object |
coder.float2fixed.skip | Exclude functions from fixed-point conversion (Since R2024b) |
