MATLAB: Can the Simulink HMI blocks be programmatically configured

simulinkthe simulink hmi blocks

The Simulink HMI blocks (such as Guages, Knobs, Switches etc.) can they be programmatically configured in a model using m scripting ? For example I want use a knob block to associate it to a calibration constant in my model. So I know all my calibrations and its range, so I want to make some tool which will let me add these HMI blocks and configure it using a script.

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no command-line API for the new Graphical Controls and Displays in R2015a, so you cannot programmatically set its parameters.
However, you can at least add it with add_block, though. The proper path is 'simulink_hmi_blocks/Knob'. So, for example, you can do
>> add_block('simulink_hmi_blocks/Knob', 'Example/Knob')
in which 'Example.slx' in a model on your current search path and is open.
I work for MathWorks and I have forwarded this feedback to the appropriate product team. They will consider incorporating this feature in one of the future releases.
