slreportgen.finder.SignalResult class

Package: slreportgen.finder
Superclasses: mlreportgen.finder.Result

Signal search result object

Description

An object of the slreportgen.finder.SignalResult class represents a result of a search for the signals used by a model or block. You can append a SignalResult object directly to a report. Alternatively, you can use the getReporter method to access the slreportgen.report.Signal reporter for the result and then customize the reporter and append it to the report.

The slreportgen.finder.SignalResult class is a handle class.

Class Attributes

HandleCompatible

true

For information on class attributes, see Class Attributes.

Creation

You do not create an slreportgen.finder.SignalResult object explicitly. The slreportgen.finder.SignalFinder find and next methods create an slreportgen.finder.SignalResult object for each signal that is found.

Properties

Object — Block output port

handle

Block output port that represents the found signal, specified as a handle. This property is read-only.

Name — Name of found signal

string scalar

Name of the found signal, specified as a string scalar. This property is read-only.

Source block — Name of source block of signal

string scalar

Name of the block that is the source of the found signal, specified as a string scalar. This property is read-only.

SourcePortNumber — Number of output port

double

Number of the output port that represents the found signal, specified as an integer. This property is read-only.

RelatedObject — Name of model or block that uses this signal

string scalar

Name of model or block that uses this signal, specified as a string scalar. The value of this property corresponds to the value of the Container property of the slreportgen.finder.SignalFinder object used to find this signal. This property is read-only.

Relationship — Relationship of signal to container model or block

"Input" | "Output" | "Internal" | "Control" | "State"

Relationship of the found signal to the container model or block, specified as "Input", "Output", "Internal", "Control", or "State". The container model or block is specified by the RelatedObject property.

Tag — Additional information

[] (default) | string scalar | character vector | number | ...

Additional information to save with this result, specified as any value.

Methods

Public Methods

getDefaultSummaryProperties	propList = getDefaultSummaryProperties(signalResult,TypeSpecificProperties) returns the list of finder result class properties that are included by default in a summary table.
getDefaultSummaryTableTitle	tableTitle = getDefaultSummaryTableTitle(signalResult,TypeSpecificTitle) returns the default title for a summary table for a finder result object of type resultObject.
getDestinationPorts	ports = getDestinationPorts(signalResult) returns the handles of the input or control ports that are connected to the signal represented by signalResult. The ports returned are the graphical destinations of the signal. They can belong to both virtual and nonvirtual blocks.
getVirtualDestinationPorts	ports = getVirtualDestinationPorts(signalResult) returns the handles of the input or control ports that are connected to the signal represented by signalResult. The ports returned are the nonvirtual destinations of the signal. They belong to only nonvirtual blocks. For example, if a signal output from a block in exampleModel connects to a block, Gain1, that is in a virtual subsystem, Sub1, this method returns the input port to exampleModel/Sub1/Gain1.
getPropertyValues	propVals = getPropertyValues(signalResult,propNames) returns the values of the properties specified in propNames in a cell array. Access the properties of the result object or the signal represented by the finder result object by specifying the required property names in propNames.
getReporter	reporter = getReporter(signalResult) returns the slreportgen.report.Signal reporter object for the signal represented by signalResult. Use the reporter to customize the information reported and the formatting of the information.
getReporterLinkTargetID	targetID = getReporterLinkTargetID(signalResult) returns the link target ID of the reporter associated with the finder result object. Use the link target ID to add a hyperlink to the reporter from any part of the report.

Examples

Customize Reporter for Signal Result

Use the getReporter method of an slreportgen.finder.SignalResult object to access the signal reporter for the result. Then, customize the reporter by setting its properties.

Import the MATLAB and Simulink Report API packages so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified class names.

import mlreportgen.report.*
import slreportgen.report.*

Create a Simulink report.

rpt = slreportgen.report.Report("MySignalReport","pdf");

Create a chapter for the signal information.

chapter = mlreportgen.report.Chapter();
chapter.Title = "Signals";

Load a model.

model_name = "slrgex_vdp";
load_system(model_name);

Create a signal finder.

finder = slreportgen.finder.SignalFinder(model_name);

Find the signals. For each found signal, get the reporter, specify that you want to report empty property values, and add the reporter to the chapter.

while hasNext(finder)
    result = next(finder);
    
    reporter = getReporter(result);
    reporter.ShowEmptyValues = true;
 
    add(chapter,reporter);
end

Add the chapter to the report.

add(rpt,chapter);

Close and view the report.

close(rpt);
rptview(rpt);
