Create MATLAB S-Functions

Create custom blocks with Level-2 MATLAB® S-functions

MATLAB S-function API enables users to use MATLAB language to create custom blocks with the capability of handling multiple input and output ports as well as signals produced by a Simulink® model, including matrix and frame signals of any data type.
