| Description |
M-files are the preferred method for defining parameters for a Simulink model, because it is a readable option. However, loading parameters from M-scripts takes longer to run than loading from a binary MAT-file. Loading parameters for large Simulink models can therefore take a significant time to run.
It is possible to combine the speed of saving parameters in MAT format with the versatility of entering parameters in M-script format. The M-script can be used as the ?master? copy of the parameters, and the parameters can be cached into a MAT-file when they are loaded. This functionality can be accomplished by using a function that compares the timestamp of an M-script and its cached MAT-file. Using this combination, the parameter loading time can be greatly improved any time in which the parameter M-script has not been changed. |
