Approximate Functions with Lookup Tables
Using the Lookup Table Optimizer, you can generate memory-efficient lookup tables that approximate functions, subsystems, and blocks. You can also use it to optimize an existing Lookup Table block.

Shared Utility Functions for Prelookup Blocks
How Prelookup blocks share utility functions. The utility functions generated by the Prelookup block are determined by the target data type of the block's inputs, outputs, and breakpoint parameter, as well as the Index search method and Integer rounding mode. Even if the two Prelookup blocks in this model have different data types, they fulfill the above requirements and share their utility functions.
