Today I want to describe a feature that is super useful, but not known enough: Logging states activity and data in Stateflow. ... read more >>

Today I want to share with you one of the lesser known semantics of Stateflow: the transition that ends on an inner boundary of a state.... read more >>

As our devices get smaller and systems get embedded into everything, there is a greater need to properly model inter-system communication. Let's take a simple example: imagine a smart thermostat that is wirelessly connected to several temperature sensors distributed throughout a building. Those sensors report data at 100 Hz. The... read more >>

I am so happy right now!... read more >>

The release of R2014b brought a time-honored Stateflow feature up to the model level: Simulink Functions. These blocks, analogous to stand-alone MATLAB functions, promote modularity and reuse by allowing you to call the same set of blocks from anywhere in your model – even from inside a Stateflow chart!... read more >>

Yesterday, I was giving a training to new hires at MathWorks and one of the attendees asked me how to hold a value in Simulink.... read more >>

Did you know that with Stateflow, it is possible to monitor which state is currently active, and use that information in the rest of the Simulink model? This feature is named Active State Output. The screenshot below shows how to do this for one of the charts in the example Temporal Logic Using the AT Function.... read more >>

Have you noticed a new block in the Stateflow Library since R2012b?... read more >>

This week I have been experimenting with a feature released in R2010b that I have not used before: Stateflow Atomic Subcharts... read more >>

As we all know, in Simulink there are always multiple ways to implement a functionality. One situation where I often hesitate when choosing an implementation is conditional execution.... read more >>
