New features and changes introduced in this version are
The documentation uses two new example models to illustrate two different techniques for displaying multiple input values simultaneously on a multiple-component gauge. One model simulates a stopwatch that has multiple needles, while the other model varies multiple portions of a pie chart. See Controlling Multiple Graphical Elements for details.
In V1.1.1 (R12.1) of Dials & Gauges Blockset software, blocks in the Buttons & Switches library return a numerical value of -1 when in the "on" state. As of V1.1.2 (R13), the same blocks return a numerical value of 1 when in the "on" state. The "off" state is unaffected by this change, and continues to return a numerical value of 0.
Note More generally, this change in behavior applies to your own controls if they return a property whose data type is Boolean. |
Here are two possible ways to upgrade your existing models that use button or switch blocks:
If the model contains a "Button convert to Simulink" block at the output port of the button or switch block, then remove the "Button convert to Simulink" block.
Otherwise, insert a Gain block at the output port of the button or switch, using a value of -1 for the Gain parameter. The Gain block is in the Simulink Math library.
If you previously used a Data Type Conversion block to convert to a Boolean value, then you do not need to change your model.
The Event on which to output field has been removed from the Block Parameters dialog box for off-block controls. Off-block dials are not supported.
Legacy models that used off-block dials might not work properly because this feature is not supported.
