R2026b

Display measurements for engine revolutions per minute (RPM) in percentage of RPM

• 

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) Indicator block

To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.

Libraries:
Aerospace Blockset / Flight Instruments

Description

The RPM Indicator block displays measurements for engine revolutions per minute in percentage of RPM.

The range of values for RPM goes from 0 to 110 %. Minor ticks represent increments of 5 % RPM and major ticks represent increments of 10 % RPM.

Tip

To facilitate understanding and debugging your model, you can modify instrument block connections in your model during normal and accelerator mode simulations.

Parameters

Connection — Connect to signal

signal name

Connect to signal for display, selected from list of signal names.

To view the data from a signal, select a signal in the model. The signal appears in the Connection table. Select the option button next to the signal you want to display. Click Apply to connect the signal.

The table has a row for the signal connected to the block. If there are no signals selected in the model, or the block is not connected to any signals, the table is empty.

Scale Colors — Ranges of color bands

0 (default) | double | scalar

Ranges of color bands on the outside of the scale, specified as a finite double, or scalar value. Specify the minimum and maximum color range to display on the gauge.

To add a new color, click +. To remove a color, click -.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: ScaleColors

Type: n-by-1 struct array

Values: struct array with elements Min, Max, and Color

Label — Block label location

Top (default) | Bottom | Hide

Block label, displayed at the top or bottom of the block, or hidden.

• Top

  Show label at the top of the block.

• Bottom

  Show label at the bottom of the block.

• Hide

  Do not show the label or instructional text when the block is not connected.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: LabelPosition

Type: character vector

Values: 'Top' | 'Bottom' | 'Hide'

Default: 'Top'

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"aerolibhmi/RPM Indicator"

Example: add_block("aerolibhmi/RPM Indicator","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")
