setModuleProperty

Class: dlhdl.ProcessorConfig
Namespace: dlhdl

Use the setModuleProperty method to set properties of modules within the dlhdl.ProcessorConfig object

Since R2020b

Syntax

setModuleProperty(processorConfigObject,ModuleName,Name,Value)


Description

The setModuleProperty(processorConfigObject,ModuleName,Name,Value) method sets the properties of the module mentioned in ModuleName by using the values specified as Name,Value pairs.

Input Arguments

processorConfigObject — Processor configuration

dlhdl.ProcessorConfig object

Processor configuration, specified as a dlhdl.ProcessorConfig object.

ModuleName — Name of the module whose parameters are to be set

"conv" | "fc" | "custom" | 'conv' | 'fc' | 'custom' | string | character vector

The dlhdl.ProcessorConfig object module name, specified as a character vector or string.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.
