To add a data interface with the specified name that mirrors the specified bus object, use the addDataInterface function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Create and Configure Interface Dictionary.

dataInterface1 = addDataInterface(dictAPI, 'DataInterface');
 
dataElm1 = addElement(dataInterface1, 'DE1');
dataElm1.Type = myValueType1;
 
dataElm2 = addElement(dataInterface1, 'DE2');
dataElm2.Type = myStructType2;
dataElm2.Dimensions = '4';
dataElm2.Description = 'I am a data element with DataType = array of struct type';
 
% data element with owned type
dataElm3 = addElement(dataInterface1, 'DE3');
dataElm3.Type.DataType = 'single';
dataElm3.Type.Dimensions = '10';
dataElm3.Type.Minimum = '-5';
 
dataInterface2 = addDataInterface(dictAPI,'DataInterface2');
