Is it possible to have tags=signal name in Simulink?

11 views (last 30 days)
The Goto and From blocks in Simulink are not using the signal names, they have there own "tag" name, which is anoying. Is there a switch somewhere to make the signal name and tag name the same always?

No.
I could think of two reasons not to do that.
  1. In many models, many signal lines have no label (i.e. the "signal names" are empty or blank).
  2. I saw this problem happened quite a few times. In the model, there is a signal line with label (signal name) called "MySignal". It is resolved to a Simulink.Signal object called "MySignal" in the base workspace. If the tag of a Goto block is also set as "MySignal", then after a simulation, the saved signal logging "MySignal" would over-write the Simulink.Signal object "MySignal". There will be an error message for the next simulation.
There are measures available to avoid both. But considering these, I don't think "auto tagging signal name" is a good idea.
