Entity-Based Function-Call Event Generator - Generate function call events corresponding to entities

Library

Generators / Event Generators

Description

This block generates a function call corresponding to each entity that arrives at the block. You can choose whether the block generates the function call before or after the departure. You can use the function call to invoke function-call subsystems, Stateflow blocks, or other blocks that accept function-call inputs.

This block is similar to the Entity Departure Event to Function-Call Event block, which offers more flexibility.

Ports

Entity Input Ports

Label	Description
IN	Port for arriving entities.

Entity Output Ports

Label	Description
OUT	Port for departing entities.

Signal Output Ports

Label	Description	Time of Update When Port Is Present	Order of Update
f1	Function-call signal.	Before or after entity departure, depending on Generate function call parameter	1
#d	Number of entities that have departed from this block since the start of the simulation.	After entity departure	3
#f1	Number of function calls the block has generated since the start of the simulation.	After entity departure	2

The initial output value for the numerical signals, which is in effect from the start of the simulation until the first update by the block, is 0.

Dialog Box

Function Call Tab

Generate function call: Determines whether the function call occurs before or after the entity departs from this block.

Statistics Tab

Number of entities departed: Controls the presence and behavior of the signal output port labeled #d.
Number of f1 function calls: Controls the presence and behavior of the signal output port labeled #f1.
