MATLAB: How to display just the configurable subsystem in the Library browser when I include the configurable subsystem library in Simulink 7.7 (R2011a)

simulink

I have a library with configurable subsystems which I would like to include in the library browser. Using the standard slblocks.m file, all blocks are displayed in the library browser. However, I want only the configurable subsystems to be displayed – not all block choices. How can this be achieved?

In order to show only the configurable subsystem in the library browser you must create a new library that contains an instance of the configurable subsystem that you have defined.

There is an example attached. Here we have a configurable subsystem which is defined in a library 'definitionlib' and because when adding a library to the library browser it resolves all subsystems at the top level in the library; it will show all the option subsystems when you select this library in the browser. To avoid this I have create a new library (in the example: 'instancelib') which contains an instance of the configurable subsystem. As this is the only subsystem in the library, when it is added to the library browser it is the only block shown.

MATLAB: Is it possible to add a “configurable subsystem” in a library using add_block command

Hi,

here is a piece of code I use :

function test_add()
model = bdroot(gcb);
config_subsystem = strcat(model, '/config_subsystem');
add_block('configurable_subsystem/template',config_subsystem,...
    'Position', [480, 104, 580, 146]);
set_param(config_subsystem,'MemberBlocks', 'config_1, config_2, config_3');
set_param(config_subsystem,'BlockChoice', 'config_1');
end

I put a configurable subsystem named "template" in a library named "configurable_subsystem.mdl". "template" block is not configured.

I can add it to my library (it contains 3 subsystems named "config_1", "config_2", "config_3") but I can not configure it.

error message is :

??? Error using ==> set_param Cannot set member block list for configurable subsystem instance 'my_lib/config_subsystem'.

Error in ==> test_add at 10 set_param(config_subsystem,'MemberBlocks', 'config_1, config_2, config_3');

Thank you for help.

MATLAB: Hide Trivial Subsystem Library Blocks from Model Browser

There are two options for the model browser, "Show library links" and "Browse masked subsystems". Use them to see if it can meet what you need. The problem is that it applies to all so you won't be able to hide some but show others.
