In R2012a, the From Workspace<\/a>, To Workspace<\/a>, From File<\/a> and To File<\/a> blocks all support bus signals. This is an often requested capability, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

MATLAB Timeseries<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

In R2012a, most methods for importing and exporting data to and from a model have been standardized to use MATLAB Timeseries<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For example, if you open the dialog of the To Workspace, you will see that timeseries is now the default save format:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"save<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Using MATLAB timeseries offers a lot of advantages as I described in a previous post on the dataset logging format<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Importing Bus Data<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let's say I want to import bus data, I create a structure of timeseries:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Creating<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Then I specify the name of the variable or file, and the bus object in the From Workspace or From File dialog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Configuring<\/p>\r\n\r\n

and we have a model importing buses!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Model<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Exporting Bus data<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

To export bus data, all you need to do do is connect the bus signal to a To Workspace or To File block and ensure the block is configured to use timeseries as save format (the default).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Once the data is in the MATLAB Workspace, you can use all timeseries methods<\/a> to process your data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For example, I can quickly detrend, filter and plot a random signal \"b\", contained inside bus \"busOut\":<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"processing<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Processed<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now its your turn<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Are you going to include these new methods of loading and saving bus data in your workflow? Which is be best block pair for loading\/saving buses? Let us know by leaving a comment here<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
