Enable File Log

Enable or disable file logging of signals on target computer

Since R2020b

• 

Libraries:
Simulink Real-Time / Logging

Description

The Enable File Log block enables the file logging service on the Speedgoat^® target computer so that File Log blocks in the model start recording data when the input port value is true. When the input port value is false, the block disables file logging on the target computer, and the File Log blocks do not record data.

If a model includes a Enable File Log block, the startRecording function and stopRecording function only control signal streaming, not File Log logging. In this case, the start(tg) AutoImportFileLog option does not import data into the Simulation Data Inspector when you use the stopRecording function or click the Stop Recording button.

For more information about the file logging workflow, see Real-Time Signal Logging and Streaming Basics.

Ports

Input

E — Enable or disable file logging

boolean

Provides enable or disable control over File Log block operation. When the enable input is triggered by a boolean signal in the model, there are logs created on the target computer. Retention of these logs depends on the FileLogMaxRuns setting.
