se_getdbopts - SimEvents debugger options structure

Syntax

opts_struct = se_getdbopts

Description

opts_struct = se_getdbopts returns an empty options structure that you can configure and then use as an input to the sedebug function. You can set the StartFcn field of opts_struct to a cell array of strings representing commands that the debugger executes after the debugger session begins.

Examples

Set breakpoints upon starting the debugger:

At the MATLAB command prompt, create an options structure to use in future debugger sessions:
```
opts_struct = se_getdbopts;
opts_struct.StartFcn = {'tbreak 1', 'tbreak 2'};
```

For a particular model, begin a debugger session using a syntax that includes opts_struct as an input argument. Using this argument causes the debugger to execute the commands in the opts_struct.StartFcn field automatically:

sedebug('sedemo_outputswitch', opts_struct)

The output in the MATLAB Command Window reflects model initialization followed by the setting of two breakpoints:

Set b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.000000
Set b2 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 2.000000

Proceed in the simulation until the first breakpoint. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:
