Can I call variables from a mask dialogue box in an Embedded MATLAB function block without having to connect variable blocks

Hi,

I'm looking to use an Embedded MATLAB Function block to calculate two output variables based on a selection of user inputs into the dialogue box.

I've chosen the Embedded MATLAB Function block due to an S-Function block seeming complicated.

As the function is developing the number of inputs to the block is becoming unwieldy, since I'm connecting constant blocks declaring the variables explicitly and connecting them. Is there a simpler way?

Yes, you can convert your inputs to parameters (whose names must match that of the workspace variables). You simply need to change the "Scope" from Input to Parameter on the Ports and Data Manager.

Brilliant, Thanks!!

Kaustubha, I don't know what happened to your link: Ports and Data Manager, it should be
