model parameter initial value

[Primusucks]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie in VeriStand 2010, and I'm struggling to solve this issue

How can I set the startup values of my model's parameters?

I'm able to export them in Simulink, and i see them in VeriStand.

But I'd like to modify at startup of simulation.

How can I do?

Can I write a "Procedure" which calls a Calibration (.m) file at simulation startup?

thanks

A procedure can't load an m file, however, when you add the model to the system definition you can specify that it starts paused. Then by the time you get the workspace up after deployment, you can use the model parameter manager to load an M file, and then use a model control to start the model. There is also a way to automate this with the API if you're interested.

Thanks for response!

It's a good idea to start the simulation paused... but I'm becoming greedy to idea of using API.

How can I use them?

Need I to have VeriStand running to use them?

Can I integrate executable/ironpython in VeriStand Workspace?

Thanks!

Hi Primusucks.

The way that worked best for me was not to use parameters but define the parameter values as inputs. Then I mapped some User Channels to these inputs.

I am not sure if you can do that with Simulink models. With LabVIEW models it works.

With this solution undefinded or zero-value parameters can be avoided.

Is that fine for you?

Thanks for response,

but I'm forced to modify parameters because I cannot modify Model's DLL....

Bye!

Hi,

VeriStand has the Off-line API that allows you to change the Inports and Outport default values. With this I was able to define the model´s input values while it is in pause always you deploy the SDF.

You can write a LabVIEW code to write new values to parameters or inports any time after deploy (I believe that is this that you want) using VeriStand API.

We use both approaches in our application.

Cheers,
