Control and Instrumentation

To evaluate the behavior of signals in real-time applications, you can add instrumentation to the model, tune parameters, and display results.

Instrumentation includes signals marked for visualization by using the Simulation Data Inspector or Simulink Scope blocks, signals connected to File Log blocks, and signals connected to graphical instruments by using instrument objects. You can instrument signals in a real-time application by using Simulink Real-Time Explorer or by using the MATLAB language.

Tune scalar, vector, or matrix parameters and view signal values as numbers or as timestamped traces by using the Simulation Data Inspector. To identify parameters to tune or signals to observe, navigate the model hierarchy or create parameter and signal groups.

Design and run App Designer instrument panels containing graphical instruments. When you run an instrument panel, it interacts continuously with the real-time application and updates the associated parameters and signals.
