SLSF: Stateflow for Logic Driven System Modeling

Note: A 1 hour test session will be scheduled one day prior to the first day of class. This session is to verify that the visual and audio connection is working properly on your computer. The required product software should be installed for the test session. It is highly recommended that you attend this session to ensure a successful and timely class start.

This two-day course shows how to implement complex decision flows and finite-state machines using Stateflow^®. The course focuses on how to employ flow graphs, state machines, and truth tables in Simulink designs. Topics include:

Modeling complex logic flows
Modeling state machines
Implementing hierarchical state machines
Implementing multiprocessing state machines
Using events in state charts
Calling functions from state charts
Implementing truth tables
Managing the Stateflow design interface

Day 2 of 2
Using Events in State Charts	Objective: Use events within a Stateflow chart to affect chart execution. Using events in state charts Broadcasting events Behavior of state charts that contain events Implicit events Temporal logic operators
Calling Functions from State Charts	Objective: Create functions in a Stateflow chart out of Simulink blocks, MATLAB code, and flow graphs. Types of functions available Simulink functions MATLAB^® functions Graphical functions
Implementing Truth Tables	Objective: Implement truth tables Understanding truth tables Constructing a truth table Populating the condition and action tables Specifying the decision set Binding actions to the decision set
Managing the Stateflow Design Interface	Objective: Reuse Stateflow designs and interact with Simulink data. Considering the design interface in Stateflow software Accessing bus signals and data store memory Creating a reusable design with Stateflow software Sharing data and functions with other charts
