29 Simulink Performance Tools 1.1 Release Notes
29-4
Graphical Merge Tool
This section describes features and enhancements added to the Graphical
Merge Tool
since Simulink Performance Tools 1.0 (Release 12.0).
Name Change
The Graphical Merge Tool was known as the Model Differencing Tool in the
previous version. The name was changed to reflect the tool’s new model
merging capability.
Merging Models
This version not only detects differences between two models but can also
optionally merge the differences into either or both models. The merge
capability simplifies collaborative development of models. For example,
colleagues can each work on separate copies of a model and, when done, use the
Graphical Merge Tool to combine the separate versions. See “Merging Model
Differences” in Using Simulink for more information.
Additional Model Comparison Options
The Simulink Performance Tools 1.0 allowed you two compare two models that
both reside in your file system. The Simulink Performance Tools 1.1 allows you
to compare an in-memory version of a model to the version last saved on your
file system or to a version stored in a source control system. This allows you to
determine what modifications you have made to a model before saving it. You
can also compare two versions of a model stored in a source control system to
determine how they differ. See “Comparing Models” in Using Simulink for
more information.
Show and Hide Parameters Panel
This version allows you to show or hide the tool’s Parameters panel. Hiding
the panel provides more room for the tool’s color-coded differences display.
Single Scrollbar
The previous version provided separate scrollbars to scroll the difference
panels for each model being compared. This version provides a single scrollbar
that scrolls both panels simultaneously. This keeps the displays in the two
panels aligned, making it easier to compare the two models.
