Dials & Gauges Blockset

Creating a Subsystem Containing Gauges

To create the subsystem, follow these steps:

1. Open the bounce model and save it in your working directory as dng_bounce_subsys.
2. Copy a Subsystem block from the Simulink Signals & Systems library into the model window. Change the block's name to gui.
3. Double-click on the subsystem to open it.
4. Copy a Generic Linear Gauge block from the Linear Gauges library into the subsystem. Change the block's name to Position.
5. Copy an Amp Meter block from the Angular Gauges library into the subsystem. Change the block's name to Velocity.
6. In the Block Parameters dialog box for each of the two gauge blocks, set the Connections parameter to neither and clear the Input property edit field.

To customize the gauge blocks, see Customizing the Gauges.
