- Convert Logical Signals to a Compatible Format: Before logging, you can convert logical signals to a format that supports missing values, such as double or categorical. This way, 'extractTimetable' can handle them properly. After extraction, you can convert them back to logical if needed.
- Custom Extraction Function: Create a custom function to manually extract and synchronize the signals without using the default 'extractTimetable' method. This function can handle logical signals appropriately.

I would like, for conveneince, to have one timetable output from Simulink. Some of my signals are logical and I don't want to make them doubles because that incorrectly captures what they are supposed to be. However, when I try to log these signals to a single timetable using extractTimetable(simout.logsout)
Error using matlab.internal.tabular.extractTimetable (line 300)
Unable to synchronize the specified data. To output data as a cell array, set 'OutputFormat' to 'cell-by-signal'.
Error in Simulink.SimulationData.Dataset/extractTimetable
(...)
Caused by:
Error using timetable/synchronize (line 343)
All variables in input timetables must support missing values (e.g. floating point, categorical, datetime, duration, or text) when synchronizing using 'fillwithmissing'.
As far as I can tell, it is because extractTimetable synchronizes everything with a specific option, fillWithNaN. Is there a way to change this behavior to allow logical values to be used? fillwithconstant would be my preference - but it is moot because my simulations do not have missing values!

Hi Yevgeniy, the error arises because logical values do not support missing values, which 'extractTimetable' tries to handle using the 'fillwithmissing' option.
To address this, you can try the following steps:
An example of how you might implement the first approach is as follows:
% Convert logical signals to double before logging
% Assuming 'simout' is your simulation output
for i = 1:numel(simout.logsout)
if islogical(simout.logsout{i}.Values.Data)
simout.logsout{i}.Values.Data = double(simout.logsout{i}.Values.Data);
end
end
% Now use extractTimetable
timetableData = extractTimetable(simout.logsout);
% Convert the signals back to logical if necessary
for i = 1:width(timetableData)
if all(ismember(timetableData{:, i}, [0, 1]))
timetableData{:, i} = logical(timetableData{:, i});
end
end
For the second approach, you can manually extract the signals and synchronize them without using 'extractTimetable':
% Manually extract and synchronize signals
signals = simout.logsout;
time = signals{1}.Values.Time;
data = arrayfun(@(s) s.Values.Data, signals, 'UniformOutput', false);
names = arrayfun(@(s) s.Name, signals, 'UniformOutput', false);
% Create a timetable
timetableData = timetable(time, data{:}, 'VariableNames', names);
% Synchronize manually if needed
% Assuming no missing values, just concatenate
% timetableData = synchronize(timetableData, 'union', 'fillwithconstant', NaN);
% Convert back to logical if necessary
for i = 1:width(timetableData)
if all(ismember(timetableData{:, i}, [0, 1]))
timetableData{:, i} = logical(timetableData{:, i});
end
end
By using one of these approaches, you should be able to log your logical signals into a single timetable without encountering the synchronization issue. Hope this helps!

The OP mentioned " but it is moot because my simulations do not have missing values!".
I suspect the error was due to something else. I would suggest the OP try a most simple example, logging a double and a boolean signal to see what happens.

I did an example in R2022b. It didn't have problem logging and extracting different data types in a single table. Your problem must be something else.
>> d=matlab.internal.tabular.extractTimetable(out.logsout)
d =
1405×4 timetable
Time q w sw bq
_____________ ___________ ___________ ___________ _____
0 sec 0 0 0 false
0.0011246 sec -5.1379e-07 -2.9886e-06 -2.9886e-06 true
>> class(d.w)
ans =
'double'
>> class(d.sw)
ans =
'single'
>> class(d.bq)
ans =
'logical'

That "0-length" is due to the fact that the source of the signal is Constant blocks. The simulation did run for 10 seconds.
I tried a Step signal and also converted it to boolean. Below is the result.
What is your MATLAB R2021b patch number? Mine is "Update 6". It looks like "Update 7" is also available.
>> s=matlab.internal.tabular.extractTimetable(out.logsout)
s =
53×2 timetable
Time b d
_______ _____ _
0 sec false 0
0.2 sec false 0
0.4 sec false 0
0.6 sec false 0
0.8 sec false 0
1 sec false 0
1 sec true 1
1 sec true 1
1.2 sec true 1
