Hi @Annu

To access “aliasDataType” on the signal-line, you could use “get_param” function on the specific block connected in the signal, following example illustrates using “vdp” model:

```

vdp([], [], [], 'compile');

d = get_param('vdp/Product','CompiledPortDataTypes');

vdp([], [], [], 'term');

disp(d. Inport{1});

```
