Convert .slx file to .mldatx

I have a simulink .slx file that I want to convert to .mldatx. I want t load this to the Simulink Real Time Porgram (slrtexplr). How do I g about this?

It appears that you need to set up points with logging to Simulink Data Inspector enabled, and then run. The mldatx files are logged data.

MLDATX is a file container, not necessarly for Simulation Data Inspector.

In this case, the MLDATX file is the format of the real-time application.

How can I find out which application the mldatx file is for?

I have several files in my project, some for Simulation Data Inspector and other for Test Manager. I would like to find all mldatx files for Test Manager. Any suggestion?

You have to build the Simulink model to generate the real-time application (MLDATX file).

1. Prepare the model, e.g. Simulink -> Apps tab -> Simulink Real-Time
2. Build the model, e.g. CTRL+B or Simulink -> Real-Time tab -> Run on Target pull-down menu -> Build Application
3. Once you get the MLDATX file, you can load to the target with Simulink Real-Time Explorer, or simply double-click on the file.

(on step 2. you can also select Run on Target to automatically build the model, load to the target computer, and run.)
