I would like to visualize the fixed-point data in binary or hex format using MATLAB or Simulink. What options are available?

In MATLAB, there are a couple of options to achieve binary or hex display using either the "format" command of Fixed-Point Designer's "fipref" object. For detailed instructions on the display methods available in MATLAB, refer to the following article from the Fixed Point Team:

Likewise, Simulink provides two ways to show hex and binary values of signals. For detailed instructions on using the Display Block, and/or Simulink Value Display to view hex/binary values in Simulink, refer to the following article:
