On my Tablet PC, why do I receive a Windows error when I try to update block parameters in my Simulink model in SIMULINK 6.1 (R14SP1)?

In a Simulink model, I double click on the blocks so as to change its dialog parameters. I am able to change these parameters a couple of times, however after a while when I try to change a block parameter for a block in my model, Windows brings up the "MATLAB has experienced a problem and needs to close" window and Simulink crashes.

Simulink 6.1 (R14SP1) has not been officially tested on a Tablet PC. The Tablet PC uses a different version of Windows in comparison to an ordinary PC and we haven't tested or qualified MATLAB/SIMULINK on this platform.

A workaround to this issue would be to use the SET_PARAM/ GET_PARAM functions to change block dialog parameters of your model. To learn more about these functions type

 doc get_param

or

 doc set_param

at the MATLAB command window.
