Can a signal pass through a server in simulink?

I want an incoming singal (departures from an entity server) to pass through an entity server or some other kind of server so I can use the server's statistics.

Hi @john,

As I understand it, you want an incoming signal to pass through an entity server to use the server’s statistics, but a traditional continuous or discrete signal cannot directly pass through an entity server in “SimuLink” because the “Entity Server” block is designed to process entities, not signals. You can verify the same in this documentation : https://www.mathworks.com/help/simevents/ref/entityserver.html

However, it can simulate the behaviour of signals passing through a server by representing them as entities in a “SimEvents” model.

To achieve this, refer to the figure below:

Once you have configured this setup, you can view the built-in statistics of the “Entity Server block” to understand its processing characteristics. These characteristics are accessible in the “block parameters” of the “Entity Server block”.

Refer to the following documentation links for more details:
