If you want to,
Quickly connect or disconnect a Signal Generator, use the context menu.
Review all of the Signal Generators and their signals, use the Signal and Scope Manager.
To attach a Signal Generator using the context menu,
Right-click the input to a block (such as a gain block), and from the signal context menu select Create & Connect Generator.
From the list that appears, select the type of scope to be attached.
The generator will appear in the block diagram as a small rectangle that lists the generator type you have chosen. Double-click this region to display a dialog from where you can change the generators properties.
To attach a Signal Generator using the Signal and Scope Manager,
Right-click the input to a block (such as a gain block), and from the signal context menu select Signal & Scope Manager.
In the Types pane and under the Generators node, expand a product node to show the generator installed and available to you.
Under an expanded product node, select a generator, and then click the Attach to model button.
The viewer is added to a table in the Generators tab in the Generators/Viewers in model pane. The table lists the generators in your model.
Each row corresponds to a generator. The columns specify each generator name and type.
Clicking on the name of a generator displays the connected signals. For instance, the constant is shown connected to the second input of the sum block.
To remove the generator from the block diagram.
Right-click a generator.
From the context menu, select Disconnect Generator.
