Introduction to
the Debugger
With the debugger
you run your simulation method by method. You can stop after each
method to examine the execution results. In this way you can pinpoint
problems in your model to specific blocks, parameters, or interconnections.
Note
Methods are functions that the Simulink® software uses to solve a model at each
time step during the simulation. Blocks are made up of multiple methods.
"Block execution" in this documentation is shorthand for "block
methods execution." Block diagram execution is a multi-step
operation that requires execution of the different block methods in
all the blocks in a diagram at various points during the process of
solving a model at each time step during simulation, as specified
by the simulation loop. |
The debugger
has both a graphical and a command-line user interface. The graphical
interface allows you to access the most commonly used features of the debugger. The
command-line interface gives you access all of the capabilities in the debugger. If you can use either to perform a task, the documentation
shows you first how to use the graphical interface, then the command-line
interface.
