mdaqBlock

Description

This function initializes MicroDAQ block structure with default values. Returned structure describes block parameters and number of input/output ports. MicroDAQ block structure is used as a parameter for mdaqBlockAdd() function to generate custom MicroDAQ block.

MicroDAQ block structure:

block.name - contains MicroDAQ block name. Block will be generated with prefix 'mdaq_'.
block.desc - contains block description. If no description provided the default description will be used 'Set 'block.name' parameters.'
block.param_name - contains block parameters names. Defined parameters names will be generated in block C source code.
block.param_size - defines block parameters sizes. This field and block.param_name must have the same number of elements.
block.param_def_val - defines default block parameters values.
block.in - defines block input port configuration.
block.use_sim_script - %T or %F, defines if block uses simulation script or C code in simulation mode (%F - by default)

Calling Sequence

block = mdaqBlock();

Examples

// call mdaqBlock to initialize block structure describing new MicroDAQ block		
block = mdaqBlock();
block.name = "test"; // set block name 
block.param_name = [ "param1" "param2" "param3" ]; // set block parameters
block.param_size = [ 1 2 4 ]; // set block parameters sizes
block.param_def_val(1) = 1;  // assign default values to defined block parameters according to block.param_size
block.param_def_val(2) = [ 2; 3 ]; 
block.param_def_val(3) = [ 4; 5; 6; 7 ]; 
block.use_sim_script = %F; 

// define block inputs (four inputs: input 1 - vec size 1, input 2 - vec size 2, input 3 - vec size 4, input 4 - vec size 1)
block.in = [ 1 2 4 1];

// define block outputs (two outputs both with vector size 1)
block.out = [ 1 1];

// create block - generate block code and corresponding C source file
mdaqBlockAdd(block);
