Customizable Blocks
R2026bUse blocks from the Customizable Blocks library to design dashboard controls and displays whose appearance matches components in your real system. Configure shape, color, labels, tick marks, and indicator ranges to create a realistic interface for your model.
Like standard Dashboard blocks, customizable blocks connect to tunable parameters or signals, and let you display and adjust values during simulation. For more information, see Control Simulations with Interactive Dashboards.
To add blocks from this library to your model, see Add Blocks to Models.
