The Command-Line Interface for the Fixed-Point Tool

The methods of the DataTypeWorkflow.Converter class allow you to collect simulation and derived data, propose and apply data types to the model, and analyze results. The class performs the same fixed-point conversion tasks as the Fixed-Point Tool. The following table summarizes the steps in the workflow and lists the appropriate classes and methods to use at each step.

Step in Workflow	Primary Objects and Object Functions for Step in Workflow
Set up model	`DataTypeWorkflow.Converter`
Prepare the model for fixed-point conversion	`applySettingsFromShortcut` `applySettingsFromRun`
Gather range information	`deriveMinMax` `simulateSystem`
Propose data types	`DataTypeWorkflow.ProposalSettings` `addTolerance` `clearTolerances` `showTolerances` `proposeDataTypes` `proposalIssues`
Apply proposed data types	`applyDataTypes`
Verify new fixed-point settings and analyze results	`DataTypeWorkflow.Result` `DataTypeWorkflow.VerificationResult` `results` `saturationOverflows` `wrapOverflows` `verify` `explore`

Note

You should not use the Fixed-Point Tool and the command-line interface in the same conversion session.

To decide which workflow is right for you, consult the following table:

Capability	Fixed-Point Tool	Command-Line Interface
Populate runs to dataset	Supported	Supported
Delete result from dataset	Supported	Supported
Edit proposed data types	Supported	Not supported
Selectively apply data type proposals	Supported	Not supported
Run multiple simulations	Supported	Supported
Script workflow	Not supported	Supported
