simscape.instrumentation.defaultVariableTable

Return default VariableTable object for block

Since R2024a

Syntax

VariableTable = simscape.instrumentation.defaultVariableTable(blockName)

Description

VariableTable = simscape.instrumentation.defaultVariableTable(blockName) returns the default VariableTable object, VariableTable, for a given block, blockName. The default variable table displays the block variables that are available for logging, where each row represents a block variable. The table displays the properties of the simscape.instrumentation.VariableConfiguration object associated with each variable. You can apply a modified default variable table to a given block using simscape.instrumentation.setVariableTable, but the simscape.instrumentation.defaultVariableTable function always returns the unmodified variable table.

Get Default Variable Table

This example shows how to get the default variable table for the Load Torque block in the Permanent Magnet DC Motor example model.

To open the model, enter:

openExample('simscape/PermanentMagnetDCMotorExample')

Retrieve the default variable table for the Load Torque block and save it to the workspace.

table1 = simscape.instrumentation.defaultVariableTable('PermanentMagnetDCMotor/Load Torque')

table1 = 

VariableTable (string ⟼ VariableConfiguration) with 5 variable(s):
 
               Name       Unit     Logging
             _________    _____    _______

    C.w ⟼    <missing>    rad/s     false 
    R.w ⟼    <missing>    rad/s     false 
    S   ⟼    <missing>    N*m       false 
    t   ⟼    <missing>    N*m       false
