Create a fi object and determine whether it is signed or unsigned. 

a1 = fi(pi,1)
a1 = 
    3.1416

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 13

tf = issigned(a1)
tf = logical
   1


a2 = fi(pi,0)
a2 = 
    3.1416

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Unsigned
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 14

tf = issigned(a2)
tf = logical
   0

If a numerictype object with Auto Signedness is used to create a fi object, the Signedness property of the fi object automatically defaults to Signed.

T = numerictype('Signedness','Auto')
T =


          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Auto
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 15

a3 = fi(pi,T)
a3 = 
    1.0000

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 16
        FractionLength: 15

tf = issigned(a3)
tf = logical
   1
