Enable breakpoints in discrete-event simulation
enable id1 id2 ...
enable all
enable id1 id2 ... enables the breakpoints having identifiers id1, id2, and so on. To see breakpoints and their identifiers, use sedb.breakpoints.
enable(id_array) enables the breakpoints in the cell array, id_array.
enable all enables all breakpoints.
Manipulate timed breakpoints and run the simulation until a breakpoint:
Begin a debugger session for a particular model. At the MATLAB command prompt, enter:
sedebug('sedemo_timeout')Establish and view breakpoints. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:
tbreak 0.5 tbreak 1 tbreak 1.5 breakpoints
The output lists the breakpoints:
Set b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 0.500000 Set b2 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.000000 Set b3 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.500000 List of Breakpoints: ID Type Value Enabled b1 Timed 0.5 yes b2 Timed 1 yes b3 Timed 1.5 yes
Delete, disable, and enable some of the breakpoints. View the resulting list:
bdelete b2 disable b3 disable b1 enable b3 breakpoints
The output is:
Deleted b2 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.000000 Disabled b3 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.500000 Disabled b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 0.500000 Enabled b3 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.500000 List of Breakpoints: ID Type Value Enabled b1 Timed 0.5 no b3 Timed 1.5 yes
Run the simulation until the first enabled breakpoint:
cont
The partial output shows that b3 is the breakpoint at which the debugger stops. The debugger ignores the disabled breakpoint, b1, and does not consider the previously deleted breakpoint, b2.
Hit b3 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 1.500000 %==============================================================================% Executing EntityGeneration Event (ev7) Time = 1.500000000000000 : Entity = <none> Priority = 1 : Block = Time-Based Entity Generator
End the debugger session. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:
sedb.quit
sedb.bdelete | sedb.breakpoints | sedb.disable
![]() | sedb.disable | sedb.eninfo | ![]() |
