Benefits of Using Enumerated Data in a Chart

Use enumerated data in a Stateflow chart to:

• Model a physical system with a finite number of states

• Restrict data to a finite set of values

• Refer to these values by name

For example, this chart uses enumerated data to refer to a set of colors.

• The chart models a system with two discrete states: Slow and Fast.

• The enumerated data output is restricted to a finite set of values: 0, 1, and 2.

• You can refer to these values by their enumerated names: Red, Yellow, and Green.

In large-scale models, use enumerated data for these benefits:

• Enhance readability of data in a chart.

• Avoid defining a long list of constants.

  For example, you can group related values into separate data types.
