Hello
I'm trying to use the fixed-point toolbox with Simulink, but
I have some problems with it.
My version of Matlab is 2007a
To start with an easy one (or so I thought), I connected a
constant block to an sqrt one (from 'math function') and
then to a scope.
I first set the sqrt output to a 16bits long word, and there
was no problem. When I input more, the simulation doesn't
start but doesn't return any error message. From that moment
on, every simulation will fail, even I put double as the
output type. I have to restart Matlab.
Where did I go wrong?

By 'more', I wanted to say 'a word with more bits'

Hi Kevin,
Would it possible for you to attach/send me a model that reproduces this
problem? Also, what was the type of your input the first time and then the
second time?
I may be able to help you if I have some more information.
Thanks,
