MATLAB: Combine Simulink Signals with Different Data Types Without Using a Bus

data typemuxsimulink

Hi,
I would like to combine signals with different data types, namely double and int8, in something that can be passed through a single output.
MUX would be a solution if the signals had the same data type. I know it's possible by using a bus creator, I just wanted to check if there are other alternatives.

A Bus serves the purpose of being able to combine signals with different data types. If you do not like the visual way of using the Bus Creator block, you can use 'In Bus Element' and 'Out Bus element'. The advantage is that you can more easily combine signals from different places inside the same bus. Behind the scenes, these blocks are simply also creating a bus. It is like a struct in C-code.
