Check Signal Attributes
5-58
column below can be individually selected from the subordinate Specific
data type
menu.
Note that data type information can also be displayed in a model by selecting
Port data types from the model window’s Format menu.

Sample mode
Checks whether the signal is discrete-time or continuous-time. (Note that
when
Sample time colors is selected from the Format menu, Simulink
displays continuous-time signal lines in black or grey and discrete-time
signal lines in colors corresponding to the relative rate. When a Probe block
with
Probe sample time enabled is attached to a continuous-time signal, the
block icon displays the string
Ts:[0 x], where x is the sample time offset.
When a Probe block is attached to a discrete-time signal, the block icon
displays the string
Ts:[t 0] for a sample-based signal or Tf:[t 0] for a
frame-based signal, where
t is the nonzero sample period or frame period,
respectively. Frame-based signals are almost always discrete-time.)
