MATLAB: XPC, getsignalid returns 0, NOT empty

simulinkxpc

I tried to get signal id by using getsignalid(tg,'signal_name').
For one of the signal in my model, it returns 0 (not empty). I think if the 'signal_name' is wrong, it returns empty. Then, what 0 means? If there is any document about this, I would be happy to know.
Thanks!

Hi Kosuke,
0 is a valid signal ID and you are correct, [] is returned when the signal name is incorrect.
For example, when you build and download one of our example models "xpcosc", you can execute the following commands to obtain a complete list of signals along with their associated ids:
*tg=xpc
tg.showsignals='on'*
Signals              = INDEX   VALUE             BLOCK NAME                    LABEL                         
                          0       0.000000          Gain                                                        
                          1       0.000000          Gain1                                                       
                          2       0.000000          Gain2                                                       
                          3       0.000000          Integrator                                                  
                          4       0.000000          Integrator1                                                 
                          5       0.000000          Signal Generator                                            
                          6       0.000000          Sum
Hope that helps,
