MATLAB: Set Stateflow parameters from MATLAB command line

Question

In my Simulink model, how do I set Stateflow chart parameters such as SampleTime, Update Method, State Machine type etc. from the MATLAB command line or programmatically?

Answer 1

Set chart parameters such as SampleTime, Update Method, State Machine type etc.

Use the "set" command. Pick an API function from one of the following links:

1. https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2016b/stateflow/api/properties-and-methods-sorted-alphabetically-by-application.html

2. https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2016b/stateflow/api/properties-and-methods-sorted-by-chart-object.html#bqxqiaq-1

and then follow the procedure below:

>> % Obtain the Stateflow chart's object

>> Stateflow.State(ch)

>> % Use the set command with the API function and its setting in pairs of char arrays:

>> ch.set('Name', 'Kentucky')

>> % You can set more than one API function at the same time:

>> ch.set('ChartUpdate','DISCRETE','SampleTime','0.1','StateMachineType','Mealy');
