Thread Subject:

Inlining xlsread function

Hi,

Is there a possibility to compile a Simulink model (with the RTW) that has an m-file S-function block with xlsread and xlswrite commands?
So far I managed it to get the Simulink model going (that reads from an Excel sheet), but with the RTW a tlc-file is required to inline the S-function block. Does the tlc-file also have to have the xlsread command? What shall I fill in the section "%function Outputs" under "LibBlockOutputSignal" in the tlc-file?

Thanks!

xlsread ans xlswrite are m-code functions that (typically) use COM.
Using them will preclude you from doing code generation to c with either the MATLAB Coder or Simulink Coder.
There is no way around that unless you want to include calls back into MATLAB in the generated code -- which is neither a trivial thing to do, or something that really makes any sense to achieve.
