Fixed-Point Numeric Precision
System Generator supports three data types, Unsigned for positive only DSP operations, Signed which is two’s
complement used for DSP operations that involve negative numbers and Boolean for 1-bit control signals. Each
block will typically have quantization parameters. The initial quantization is defined by the Gateway In blocks.
