floating point to fixed point

why one need to change models from floating point to fixed point? Even though working with floating point models is easier(personal opinion).

Hi Vandhana,

usually people convert models from floating point to fixed point when the goal is to run the model later on some embedded device. Depending on the size of the controller, sometimes the controller does not even support floating point (or only by software which consumes both time and memory).
