How do I compare or merge my Simulink Data Dictionaries (SLDDs)?

I would like to combine two SLDDs into one for use in a Simulink model. How can I compare them and remove duplicate values?

There are two resources for working with multiple SLDDs: an interactive approach and a programmatic approach.

1. Interactive approach. 

You can compare your two SLDDs using the Comparison Tool. This will allow you to find repeated values and "merge" one set into the other. You can kick off this process either by:

1) Clicking the "Compare" button from the MATLAB desktop and entering the SLDD files, or

2) Selecting both files in the Current Folder browser, right clicking, and selecting "Compare Selected Files/Folder" 

See below for details:

2. The programmatic approach.

SLDDs come with their own programmatic APIs for doing many standard operations like getting/setting parameter values, saving, etc. See the below documentation resource to get started:
