Get expected DataType for Inherit:auto port

Hi,

I am trying to find out if there is a way programatically to check which is the expected data type of a port which is normally defined as Inherit:auto. The only parameter which lists the data type I know of is "OutDataTypeStr" which in such cases only says "Inherit:auto". Is there a programatic way to apply the inheritance rules and check what is the expected type for this port?

Hello Iliya,

Simulink blocks output data type are determined when you compile your model.

To get the data type property at that time, pose the model with the model compiled and get the property. After getting the property, terminate the model compilation.

Common Block Properties

I have attached a sample program, so please refer to it.

The result in the console is also empty:

vdp([],[],[],'term')

block name:

DO_R/On_DO

Input port data type:

Any ideas?

Hi

'vdp' is the shipping demo model name. Please set 'your model name'.
