Lesson 1 - Design Creation Basics
Creating Input Vectors using MATLAB
Simulink is built on top of MATLAB allowing the use of the full MATLAB language for input signal generation and
output analysis. You can use the “From Workspace” and “To Workspace” blocks from the Simulink Source and Sink
libraries. Input values must be specified as an n rows x 2 column matrix where the first column is the simulation
time and the second column includes the input values. This is a very popular way to generate input vectors for
System Generator designs.
