Dials & Gauges Blockset

In-Block Control

The In-block control check box determines whether the ActiveX Control block displays an ActiveX Control block or is connected to an ActiveX Control block somewhere else. The ActiveX Control block can be in the same model window or in a different subsystem, model, or MATLAB figure.

If checked, the control whose name is specified in the Program ID field appears on the ActiveX Control block.

If cleared, the block is connected to the ActiveX control whose handle is specified in the Handle location field (this field appears when you clear the box):

• If the window is a MATLAB figure window, specify the name of a function whose return value is the figure handle. You can also specify initialization commands in the function to set the initial conditions of the ActiveX Control block.
• If the window contains a Simulink subsystem, the ActiveX Control block must be displayed on an ActiveX Control block contained in that subsystem. Specify the path of the ActiveX Control block on which the control is to appear.

• For example, if a model named my_model has a subsystem called sub_disp_signals that contains an ActiveX Control block named signal1, the path is my_model/sub_disp_signals/signal1.

Using this feature is useful in a complex model that displays signals in multiple subsystems on ActiveX Control blocks. If you feed the signals into ActiveX Control blocks but display the ActiveX Control blocks themselves in a separate system or window, it is not necessary to have the subsystems open to see the results.
