Starting Simulink
To start Simulink, click the
icon in the MATLAB toolbar, or type
Simulink on PC Platforms
On PC platforms, the Simulink Library Browser opens when you start Simulink. The left pane contains a list of all of the blocksets that you currently have installed.
The first item in the list is the Simulink blockset itself, which is already expanded to show the available Simulink libraries. Click the symbol to the left of any blockset name to expand the hierarchical list and display that blockset's libraries within the browser.
See the Simulink documentation for a complete description of the Library Browser.
Simulink on UNIX Platforms
On UNIX platforms, the Simulink window below opens when you start Simulink. To view other installed blocksets, double-click the Blocksets & Toolboxes button.
The following tutorial makes use of the Simulink Library Browser, available only on PC platforms. If you are working on a UNIX platform, instead of clicking the symbol in the Library Browser to open a library, simply double-click the appropriate library in the main Simulink or DSP Blockset windows. To open the DSP Blockset window from the MATLAB command line, type
dsplib
.
The Simulink Libraries
The eight libraries in the Simulink window contain all of the basic elements you need to construct a model. Look here for basic math operations, switches, connectors, simulation control elements, and other items that do not have a specific DSP orientation.
To create a new model, select New from the Simulink File menu or press Ctrl+N. Then simply drag a block from one of the Simulink libraries into the new model window to begin building a system.
