What is the green line between Simulink Function and Simevents blocks in this Matlab example

16 views (last 30 days)
In the Simevents sample file accessed through the Matlab call below
open_system('TimeStampEntitiesUsingSimulinkFunctionModel');
shows a Simevents model where the Entity Generator and Entity Server call a Simulink function called timeStamp().
Visually in the block model the sumulink function and the two Simevents blocks are connected by a thin light green line. Note this is not an entity-flow line or a typical, e.g. as connected to a scope, data line. I'm not sure what the green line is but it at least visually connects elements. A related model copied below.
When I make my own model and call a similar function I don't get the line, though the function call seems to work.
  • Is the green line functionally important? Seems not.
  • How can I create this line to show the link between Simevents blocks and the function?
Thanks for any guidance

Just a side note: Depending on where the function is called, the line is connected to the beginning (Entry event), middle (Process completion event), or the end (Exit event) of the block.
