How to check/map simulink data set is matching model's inports programmatically?

I have some simulink dataset stored in a lot of mat files.

Is there a way to check those dataset is still matching the model's inports?

I know I can probably use Root Inport Mapper to check it manually, but I would like to know how to do that programmatically.

Thanks

I don't know if there is a way to do it programmatically, but if you have all of your datasets loaded in the workspace, you can link them all together in Root Inport Mapper and check the mapping to model.

Yea but I would still like to know how to do it programmatically

Hi Andy,

A possible way of matching the data coming to inports with data present in the mat files programmatically is by making use of 'To Workspace' block of Simulink. Please go through the following steps:

• Insert a 'To Workspace' block in the model.
• Now branch the signal coming out of inport block and input the signal to 'To Workspace' block.
• In the block parameters dialog box of 'To Workspace' block specify the name of the variable and format in which you want to save the data.
• Later you can compare the dataset file and the data logged through 'To Workspace' Block.

Refer the following documentation for further details about 'To Workspace' block:

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this is not what I'm looking for. The step I want to know how to do programmatically is your last step "compare the dataset file and data logged".

Yes I understood, 'To Workspace' Block is capable of creating a Timeseries type of array, which would have the input values to the model along with Timestamps of simulation.

A Simple MATLAB script which iteratively compares the data present in 'MAT' file and the Time-series data logged in Base workspace by 'To Workspace' Block would be a possible workaround to match the data programmatically, if you do not want to use 'Root Inport Mapper'.

I see what you mean, but editing the model is just not an option to me.

It could be a good answer for other people for sure. Thanks.
