MATLAB: How to set Simulink Preferences via the command line approach

simulink

Looking at one of the links that mention Command-Line Information in the Simulink Preferences documentation page (see below)…

Command-Line Information

Parameter: NotifyIfLoadOldModel*Value:* 'on' | 'off'*Default:* off

When I try to execute this command on the command line, it is flagged as an undefined function or variable.

If I want to set this via a m script (I assume this is possible), what are the commands to do so?

You can use the "set_param" function with...

1) the first argument being "0"

2) the second argument being the specific command line parameter that you want to modify

3) the third argument being the actual value/setting that you would like to apply for the parameter

Using "0" for the first argument allows you to modify Simulink properties/preferences (i.e. those that are set for all Simulink models).

Below is an example for the "NotifyIfLoadOldModel" preference setting. If you would like, you can open the Simulink Preferences dialog/menu to confirm that the changes to the setting have indeed been made.

>> set_param(0, 'NotifyIfLoadOldModel', 'on')

MATLAB: How to override the zoom uicontextmenu with a custom uicontextmenu, when in zoom mode, in MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b)

This can be accomplished with the zoom accessor object. The following example illustartes how this can be done:

% Define the context menu
cmenu = uicontextmenu;
% Define the line and associate it with the context menu
hline = plot(1:10,'UIContextMenu', cmenu);
% Define callbacks for context menu items
cb1 = ['set(hline, ''LineStyle'', ''--'')'];
cb2 = ['set(hline, ''LineStyle'', '':'')'];
cb3 = ['set(hline, ''LineStyle'', ''-'')'];
% Define the context menu items
item1 = uimenu(cmenu, 'Label', 'dashed', 'Callback', cb1);
item2 = uimenu(cmenu, 'Label', 'dotted', 'Callback', cb2);
item3 = uimenu(cmenu, 'Label', 'solid', 'Callback', cb3);
% Get the handle to the zoom mode object for the figure
zh = zoom(gcf);
% Set the UI Context Menu to the custom menu
set(zh, 'uicontextmenu', cmenu)

MATLAB: Importing legacy models from created with MIT Toolbox

Yes, the models created and which were working with MIT Toolbox can be used with the Simulink Support package for PARROT Minidrones, provided they follow the steps below:

1. Update the existing model to be used with Buses and 4 ports. It is mandatory to have the these 4 ports and signals through them as specified below:

Specifications of root level ports and signals through them

* Sl. No Port Type Data Type Storage class for signal through it Size Alias

*1. Inport (AC cmd) Bus: CommandBus ExportedGlobal NA Cmd_inport

* *2. Inport (Sensors) Bus: SensorsBus ExportedGlobal NA sensor_inport

* *3. Outport (Actuators) double ExportedGlobal 4 motors_outport

* *4. Outport (Flag) Uint8 ExportedGlobal 1 flag_outport

2. You can copy paste the controller logic from the old model and update the signals in such a way that the above criteria are met.

3. If simulation works and is successful, proceed to build the model.
