I am trying simply to increment x from 1 to y by a resolution (basically x:resolution:y)
I am new to simulink and cant seem to find something simple.
PS: i am using simulink 2016

In Simulink, you can use the "Signal Generator" block to increment the value of `x` from 1 to `y` with a specified resolution. Here's how you can set it up:
1. Open your Simulink model.
2. Drag and drop the "Signal Generator" block from the Simulink Library Browser onto your model.
3. Double-click the "Signal Generator" block to open its dialog box.
4. In the dialog box, you will see various settings for the signal generation. Set the "Signal type" to "Ramp".
5. Set the "Start time" to 0 (or any other desired value).
6. Set the "Stop time" to a value that corresponds to the duration of the ramp signal (e.g., the time it takes to increment from 1 to `y`).
7. Set the "Initial output" to 1 (or any other desired starting value for `x`).
8. Set the "Slope" to the desired resolution (e.g., the amount by which `x` increases per unit of time).
9. Connect the output of the "Signal Generator" block to the rest of your Simulink model for further processing or visualization.
By configuring the "Signal Generator" block as described above, you can generate a ramp signal that increments `x` from 1 to `y` with the desired resolution.
