A Simulink developer caught me in the hall last week and asked me, “How do people use the Signal Conversion block?”  He was specifically interested in how people use Contiguous Copy mode, and if... read more >>

Blog reader Paul J. shared with us his mental model of the bus as a structure. While this isn’t true of virtual buses, it is precisely true of nonvirtual buses. In fact, when you generate the... read more >>

Most Simulink users have a good idea of what a bus signal is but I have found people are not as clear about what distinguishes virtual and nonvirtual buses. We have discussed bus signals in recent... read more >>

A few recent comments on this blog have asked about bus objects. Blog reader KMR remarked that "bus objects are one of the most important parts of the whole bus concept: allowing you to lock down... read more >>

Today I present for your reading pleasure a continuation of our discussion on mux and bus signals. Last week we looked at the advanced uses of Mux Blocks. This week I want to discuss the mental... read more >>

Last week I started a discussion of mux and bus signals. Our mental model of the mux signal is a vector. The Mux and Demux Blocks can do more than just combine and break apart the elements of a... read more >>

The answer is short and sweet. A composite signal is a mux or a bus signal. These can be thought of as a collection of other component signals. The subtleties of using bus signals and mux signals are... read more >>
