simulink test manager real time simulation output sdi view

I've got a question about Simulink Test Manager, particularly using the Simulation Output. I want to have each test case to log and display certain signals in a predetermined format. I can do this in simulated tests, as it gives me the option to choose an SDI view to organize the signals. But in real-time, this option doesn't seem to be available?? Is there any way to get my signals for the real-time test results auto-plotted?

Hi,

You can use the Simulink® Test Manager to create test cases for Simulink models and code in desktop, SIL, PIL, and HIL (for target computers running Simulink Real-Time™) execution environments. You can create or import test data, run tests, view results, and create reports. You can also import and test C and C++ code, and MATLAB® test scripts.

You can read more regarding the Simulink Test Manager from the following link:

This answer is very basic and not very helpful. I've been playing around with Test Manager for a few months now. It's a nice tool, but I don't know why choosing how data is displayed after it runs in real time is so difficult. I don't like the options that are built in natively to Test Manager in the "simulation output" section for real time. I was hoping for a work-around that would let me make things look nice. I have A LOT of signals to go through for the entire system so having something that I only need to setup once and then never have to do again would be ideal. I can do that to some extent by using the "transfer signal view" tool, but that means I have to have a different results file that I've set up before already in Test Manager. It's a pain. Just automate it. That's what this whole GUI is supposed to be about.
