A question relating to block names in Simulink

Hi there everyone,

now then i have a general query based question which i was hoping to get some help on;

so i have a assignment which will require me to use the same block multiple times, the block in particular is the blue outline Ammeter. now then i am using three of these blocks and having "Current Sensor 1-3" isn't exactly very clear considering when i run it through a scope it shows the source blocks name.

so this leads me to my question; how would i go about changing the singular block name of the Ammeters without changing the library name?

i searched here on the help forums but i turned up nothing so i would appreciate any help offered.

I attached you photo that I ask you following? You do not want to change that blue name?

I think this is the only way to change the block of this Ammeter.

hi there,

sorry i should have explained better,

those are indeed the sensors that i was talking about, i wanted to individualise each one further than what they were as in the legend it says the name of the item it came from so i wanted to change it to say i_in or I_out etc. to reflect the information being displayed.

does this make more sense? if it will help in anyway i have attached the actual circuit diagram to this comment althrough i refrained from doing so originally as i felt it wouldn't help with solving my issue

Hi!

Here I have one example for voltage sensor. I have attached you 2 photos. Did you think something like that?

Hello,

the block name can be changed by clicking on the block once. This will make it's name visible. Then, move your mouse over the block name, and it should change into a text editing cursor. You can click, and then edit the block name.

As an alternative, you may double click on the black wire that comes out of your ps -> simulink converter block. This wire can be named, and this name will go to your scope when viewing signals.

Regards,

Joel
