Coding a MATLAB Test Bench Function

When coding a MATLAB function that is to verify or visualize a VHDL model, you must adhere to specific coding conventions, understand the data type conversions that occur, and program data type conversions for operating on data and returning data to ModelSim. The following sections cover these topics:

• Overview of the Steps for Coding a MATLAB Test Bench Function

• Data Type Conversions

• Naming a MATLAB Test Bench Function

• Setting up Expected Parameters

• Gaining Access to and Applying Port Information

• Converting Data for Manipulation

• Converting Data for Return to ModelSim

• Sample MATLAB Test Bench Function
