Attempt to extract field 'ThermocoupleType' from 'mxArray'.

I'm trying to write code in simulink block editor to take live input data from a thermocouple, through a DAQ system, to display the data on a scope. The thermocouple is a K type thermocouple. If I don't specify the type, I get an error message asking for the thermocouple type. When I specify K type, I get the error 'Attempt to extract field 'ThermocoupleType' from 'mxArray'.'

What should I do?

Code:

function data  = Thermocouple()

coder.extrinsic('daq.createSession','addAnalogInputChannel','startForeground','T')

T = daq.createSession('ni');

ch0 = addAnalogInputChannel(T,'cDAQ9185-1D2BD3AMod2',0,'Thermocouple');

ch0.ThermocoupleType = 'k';

data = zeros(1,1000);

data = startForeground(T);

Thanks in advance!

Since "addAnalogInputChannel" is extrinsic, it returns an "mxArray" object, which overrides the data type of "ch0" to be an "mxArray" as well.

In order to solve this error pre-initialize the desired fields / variables, and then assign the value to the field.

I'm not exactly sure what to preinitialize it to. Is this what you were thinking?

function data  = Thermocouple()

coder.extrinsic('daq.createSession','addAnalogInputChannel','startForeground','T')

T = daq.createSession('ni');

ch0 = addAnalogInputChannel(T,'cDAQ9185-1D2BD3AMod2',0,'Thermocouple');

ch0.ThermocoupleType = zeros(1,1)

ch0.ThermocoupleType = 'k';

data = zeros(1,1000);

data = startForeground(T);

Thanks

Same quesiton! I call "timedelaynet" to train a neural network on line in the simulink, and then hope to get the weight value of the neural network. I specify the type of the variable in advance, but it does not work.

coder.extrinsic('net'); net.IW{1,1}=zeros(5,4); %error message:Attempt to extract field 'IW' from 'mxArray' [net,tr]=train(net,inputs,targets,inputStates,layerStates);

What should I do?
