Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer - Operating point information for state, box, or function - MATLAB (original) (raw)

Operating point information for state, box, or function

Description

A Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object contains a snapshot of a state, box, or function in a Stateflow® chart during simulation. The operating point includes information about:

Active substates
State and function local data
Persistent variables in MATLAB® functions and truth tables

Creation

When you save the final operating point for a Simulink® model, as described in Save Operating Points, you create a Stateflow.op.BlockOperatingPoint object for each Stateflow chart in the model. This object contains aStateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object for each state, box, or function in the chart.

Access a Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object by using the property that matches the name of the state, box, or function in the parentStateflow.op.BlockOperatingPoint orStateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer. For example, suppose thatop is the Stateflow.op.BlockOperatingPoint object for a chart. To access the Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object for a top-level state called state, enter:

Similarly, to access the Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object for a substate called substate in the top-level state state, enter:

Properties

The Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object contains a property for each substate, box, function, local data, and persistent variables in the state, box, or function. The name of the property matches the name of the state, function, box, or data. For example:

If a state has a substate named substate, theStateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object for the state has a property named substate that is specified as aStateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object.
If a MATLAB function has a persistent variable named persistentVar, the Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object for the function has a property named persistentVar that is specified as a Stateflow.op.OperatingPointData object.

Examples

Open the sf_car model.
For more information about this model, see Model a Car with Automatic Transmission.
Set the model to save the final operating point. Open the Configuration Parameters dialog box and, in the Data Import/Export pane:
1. Select Final states and enter a name for the operating point. For this example, use xSteadyState.
2. Select Save final operating point.
3. Click OK.
Set the stop time for this simulation segment. In the Simulation tab, set Stop Time to 3.
Run the simulation.
Access the Stateflow.op.BlockOperatingPoint object that contains the operating point information for the shift_logic chart.
blockpath = "sf_car/shift_logic";
op = get(xSteadyState,blockpath)
op =
Block: "shift_logic" (handle) (active)
Path: sf_car/shift_logic
Contains:
- gear_state "State (AND)" (active)
- selection_state "State (AND)" (active)
  gear "State output data" gearType [1, 1]
  down_th "Local data" double [1, 1]
  up_th "Local data" double [1, 1]
  datasetWrittenToVector "Data set written to vector" logical 4x1
Access the Stateflow.op.OperatingPointContainer object that contains the operating point information for the gear_state state.
ans =
State: "gear_state" (handle) (active)
Path: sf_car/shift_logic/gear_state
Contains:
- first "State (OR)" (active)
- fourth "State (OR)"
- second "State (OR)"
- third "State (OR)"
Highlight the states that are active in the chart at t = 3.
highlightActiveStates(op)
Change the substate activity in the state gear_state to reflect a change in gear.
setActive(op.gear_state.second)
Verify that the substate second in the stategear_state is active in the modified operating point.
isActive(op.gear_state.second)
Remove the highlighting of active states in the Stateflow Editor.

Stateflow.SimState.SimStateContainer is now calledStateflow.op.OperationPointContainer. The behavior remains the same.
