MATLAB: How to change the Enable debugging/animation option within the Simulation Target using the Stateflow API

animationapidebuggingsimulationstateflowtarget

I would like to change the Enable debugging/animation option within the Simulation Target using the Stateflow API.

Best Answer

rt=sfroot;
m=rt.find('-isa','Stateflow.Machine');
x = m.find('-isa','Stateflow.Target');
x.setCodeFlag('debug',1); - to enable debugging/animation
x.setCodeFlag('debug',0); - to disable debugging/animation

MATLAB: Does the FIND method of the Stateflow root object have an inconsistent behavior for the Name property in Stateflow 6.1 (R14SP1) as compared to Stateflow 6.0 (R14)

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 SP1 (R14SP1). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

In Stateflow 6.0 (R14) and earlier versions, the Name property of a Stateflow Chart object returned full model path of the chart. This was verified as a bug in Stateflow 6.0 (R14) and earlier versions. This is fixed in Stateflow 6.1 (R14SP1) to return just the name of the chart. The full path is still available from the Path property. This is an intended change in behavior of the Name property.

To be able to receive the same output as in Stateflow 6.0 (R14), please change the code in R14SP1 to the following:

ModelName='errTest';
rt=sfroot;
m=rt.find('-isa','Stateflow.Machine','-and','Name',ModelName)
%*** Note the change in name ***%
compName='Chart';
chart=m.find('-isa','Stateflow.Chart','-and','Name',compName)

MATLAB: How to view/edit the data of a Stateflow Chart in a Simulink model using command line if the Simulink chart is derived from a custom library in MATLAB 8.0(R2012b)

You can combine the basic Simulink API with the Stateflow API to achieve this from command line. Since the Stateflow chart in the model is linked to a library, in order to be able to make any changes in the data in the chart, you need to disable the link between the block and the library first. You can disable the link using command line and then enable the link and push the changes made in the chart to the library. However, if you just wish to view the data in the Stateflow chart, this can be done without breaking the link. The following two scripts show how both of these tasks can be achived from command line:

The Simulink model 'testapi.slx' and library 'test1.slx' are attached with the solution.

%%Editing Data in a Stateflow chart and pushing the changes to the library block
% Find the Chart in the Simulink Model

cellChart=find_system('testapi','MaskType','Stateflow','Name','myChart');
% Disable the link
set_param(cellChart{1},'LinkStatus','inactive');
% Using stateflow API now to get the stateflow chart data.
rt=sfroot;
m = rt.find('-isa', 'Simulink.BlockDiagram', '-and', ...
      'Name', 'testapi');
ch = m.find('-isa','Stateflow.Chart','-and',...
      'Name','myChart');
chData = ch.find('-isa', 'Stateflow.Data','-and',...
      'Name','u');   
% Now, for example if you want to change the update method of a variable, you can do the following:
set(chData(1),'UpdateMethod','Continuous')
% You can now push the changes back to the library block.
set_param(cellChart{1},'LinkStatus','propagate');
%%Viewing the data in a Stateflow chart which is linked to a library.
   % Find the Chart in the Simulink Model
   hChart=find_system('testapi','MaskType','Stateflow','Name','myChart');
   % Find the full path to the library block to which the chart is linked to
   libBlock=get_param(hChart,'ReferenceBlock');
   % Get the handle to Libary block
   hLib=get(get_param(libBlock{1},'Handle'));
   % Creating a root stateflow object
   rt = sfroot;
   % Find the library model using stateflow API
   m = rt.find('-isa','Simulink.BlockDiagram','-and',...
       'Name',hLib.Parent);
   % Find the library block
   ch = m.find('-isa','Stateflow.Chart','-and',...
       'Name',hLib.Name);
   % Assigning all data contained in the library block to 'chData'
   chData = ch.find('-isa', 'Stateflow.Data');
