There is so much online documentation that not many people have the time or inclination to read all of it. Declares that the model should specify three sample times. During the compilation phase of a simulation, simulink determines the sample time of a block from the sampletime parameter if the block has an explicit sample time, the block type if it has an implicit sample time, or by the model content.

Sample times of the ports to which the block connects see effects of synchronous sample times and effects of asynchronous sample times. In general it is a good practise to be aware of the simulation time, simulation steps and solver you are using in simulink simulations, as sometimes the simulation can go wrong just because of the solver, or because of the simulation step size.
For a fixed integration step of 1 millisecond, the clock icon updates at 1 second, 2 seconds, and so on. Simulink automatically selects a statespace realization of these output equations depending on the block sample time, which can be explicit or triggered. In the following example, the controller runs at a discrete rate specified with a sample time of 0.

In order to simulate this system, the details of the simulation must first be set. To control the precision of this block, use the sample time parameter in the block dialog box use this block rather than the clock block which outputs continuous time when you need the current simulation time. This parameter is not visible unless it is explicitly set to a value other than 1. The periodic sample time 000 is not allowed because the ratio of this sample time over base rate 1e008 is greater than the maximum value of uint32.
The from file block loads data from a matfile to a model and outputs the data as a signal. If you set the block trigger type to functioncall and the sample time type to periodic, the sampletime parameter becomes active. Next edit the discrete zero pole block to model the discrete controller transfer function described above. How simulink calculates the sample times of virtual and enabled subsystems. If the input is a vector, the block holds all elements of the vector for the same sample period. During execution, the block produces outputs and, if appropriate, updates its internal state. You could also use simulink s data store read and write blocks, but this seems simpler. To control the precision of this block, use the sample time parameter in the block dialog box. Autoware toolbox is a matlab simulink sample code suite for autoware. To display the simulation time on the block icon, you must select the display time check box.
