How to delete all the scopes in Simulink?
Show older comments
Hi, in a Simulink model, I have used "Create and connect viewer" to see the signal in a specific point. I attach a snapshot to show how it looks like.

Now, after I while that I simulate and program, Simulink tells me that it has 7 scopes, but I actually see only one! I have no idea where the other 6 are...Is there a way to see where are the scopes, or just to delete all the scopes from the command window?

%Try running the below command in the command window in your current working directory where the model is present
delete_block(find_system('state_space_forum','BlockType','Scope'));
% where 'state_space_forum'is your Simulink model name % This will delete all the Scopes that are present in the model

To erase all scope viewers (the 'invisible' scopes) programmatically, use (seems to be working on R2020a):
mdl = 'your_model_name';
all_scope_viewer = find_system(mdl,'AllBlocks','on','IOType','viewer');
delete_block(all_scope_viewer);
This should do the work. The key here is the 'AllBlocks' to 'on' option, which seems undocumented. However, this appears to trigger some handle errors within the Signal & Scope Manager, which seems not aware of the manual deletion. Save your model and next time you open it, the handle errors will be gone.
all_scope_viewer = find_system(mdl,'AllBlocks','on','BlockType','Scope');
should also work, provided that all the scopes in your model are scope viewers (in case you do not want to delete the regular scopes).
A missing feature that would be useful: the ability to 'comment out' those scope viewers without actually deleting them (the same as the regular scopes that support this feature).
