ssGetDataTypeFxpWordLength - Return word length of fixed-point registered data type

Syntax

extern int ssGetDataTypeFxpWordLength (SimStruct *S, DTypeId
                                       dataTypeId)

Arguments

S

SimStruct representing an S-function block.

dataTypeId

Data type ID of the registered fixed-point data type for which you want to know the word length.

Description

This function returns the word length of the fixed-point data type designated by dataTypeId. This function does not return the word length of the container of the data type. To get the container word length, use ssGetDataTypeFxpContainWordLen:

This function errors out when ssGetDataTypeIsFxpFltApiCompat returns FALSE.

Requirement

To use this function, you must include fixedpoint.h and fixedpoint.c. For more information, see Structure of the S-Function.

Languages

C

Examples

An sfix24_En10 data type has a word length of 24, but is actually stored in 32 bits during simulation. For this signal,
