Analog Output
Write to one or multiple analog output channels
Libraries:
Simulink Desktop Real-Time
Description
The Analog Output block connects to and writes to specific analog output channels from your Simulink® model. After you add an Analog Output block to your model, you can enter the parameters for its I/O driver.
Examples
Real-Time Signal Generator
Produce an analog output signal by using Simulink Desktop Real-Time™.
Real-Time Controller
Build a simple closed-loop real-time controller by using Simulink Desktop Real-Time™.
Real-Time Filter
Build a real-time filter using DSP System Toolbox™ and Simulink Desktop Real-Time™.
Ports
Input
Analog Data — Digital-to-analog converter data to write to output channels
vector
Source data provided as input to D/A conversion. The data type and range of the input value depend upon the capabilities of the board.
Data Types: single
| double
| int8
| uint8
| int16
| uint16
| int32
| uint32
Output
Missed Ticks — Missed tick count (optional)
double
In Connected IO mode, returns the number of timer ticks that your model lags behind the real-time kernel. When the model lags by more than Maximum missed ticks, the software reports an error and simulation stops.
Dependency
When you select Show “Missed Ticks” port, this port is visible.
Data Types: double
Parameters
Install new board — Register a board
< no board selected >
(default)
When you click Install new board, the software displays a list of manufacturers of supported boards. When you select a manufacturer, the software displays a list of boards available from that manufacturer. When you select a board, the software adds the board to the list of registered boards and makes that board the current board.
By default, the initial selection in the list of registered boards is <
no board selected >
.
For more information about driver support for I/O boards, see Hardware Support from Simulink Desktop Real-Time.
Dependency
When you select a board in the list of registered boards, the Delete current board and Board setup buttons are available.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
DrvName |
Delete current board — Delete the current board
(button)
To delete the current board, click this button. The initial
selection of the list of registered boards changes to <
no board selected >
.
Dependency
To activate this parameter, select a board in the list of registered boards.
When you delete the current board, the Delete current board and Board setup buttons are no longer available.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
DrvName |
Board setup — Set up the board
(button)
To set up the board, click this button.
A board-specific dialog box opens to set up the board. For more information, see the board manufacturer documentation.
Dependency
To activate this parameter, select a board in the list of registered boards.
To deactivate this parameter, click Delete current board.

Sample time — Sample time of block
0.1
(default) | double
Enter a value, in seconds, that represents how frequently you want the block to execute and interact with the I/O hardware. The block synchronizes your model with the real-time clock at this sample rate.
If you are using a fixed-step solver, enter the value that you entered as the Fixed step size configuration parameter or an integer multiple of that value.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
SampleTime |
Maximum missed ticks — Number of timer ticks by which your model can trail the kernel
10
(default) | integer
In Connected IO mode, enter the number of timer ticks that your model can lag behind the real-time kernel. When the model lags behind by this number or fewer timer ticks, the software assumes that the lag is temporary. It allows the model to catch up, even if the model misses some ticks. When the model lags by more than this number, the software reports an error and simulation stops.
In Run in Kernel mode, the software ignores this value.
Programmatic Use
Block
Parameter:
MaxMissedTicks |
Show “Missed Ticks” port — Send number of missed ticks to port Missed Ticks
'off'
(default) | 'on'
In Connected IO mode, select this check box to send the number of missed
ticks to output port Missed Ticks
.
In Run in Kernel mode, the Missed Ticks
port is
zero.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
ShowMissedTicks |
Yield CPU when waiting — Yield CPU while kernel waits for hardware
'off'
(default) | 'on'
In Connected IO mode, select this check box to grant other programs more CPU time while the kernel waits for a response from the hardware.
In Run in Kernel mode, the software ignores this value.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
YieldWhenWaiting |
Output channels — Channel vector that selects output channels
1 (default) | vector
Enter a channel vector that selects the analog output channels that you are using on this board. The vector can be any valid MATLAB® vector form. For example, to select the first two analog output channels, enter:
[1,2]
or
[1:2]
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
Channels |
Output range — Select output range for analog outputs
board dependent
From the list, select the output range for the analog output channels that
you entered for the Output channels parameter. For
example, if the board has an output range of ±5 V
,
select -5 to 5 V
.
If you want the output range to be different for different analog channels, add an I/O block for each different output range.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
VoltRange |
Block input signal — Value type sent into block
Volts
(default) | Normalized bipolar
| Normalized unipolar
| Raw
From the list, select from the following options:
Volts
— Expects a value equal to the analog output voltage.Normalized bipolar
— Expects a value between-1
and+1
that is converted to the full range of the output voltage regardless of the output voltage range.Normalized unipolar
— Expects a value between0
and+1
that is converted to the full range of the output voltage regardless of the output voltage range. For example, analog output ranges of0
volts to+5
volts and of−5
volts to+5
volts are converted from values between0
and+1
.Raw
— Expects a value from0
through2n -1
. For example, a 12-bit A/D converter expects a value between0
and212 -1
(0
to4095
). The advantage of this method is that the expected value is an integer with no round-off errors.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
RangeMode |
Initial value — Initial value for output channels
vector
Enter the initial value for each analog output
channel that you entered for the Output channels parameter.
For example, if you entered [1,2]
, and you
want initial values of 0
Volts, enter [0,0]
.
Programmatic Use
Block Parameter:
InitialValue |
Final value — Final value for output channels
vector
Enter a final value for each analog channel
that you entered for the Output channels parameter.
For example, if you entered [1,2]
, and you
want final values of 0
Volts, enter [0,0]
.
