Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, smbNameofPort, is designed to determine the connection type of a specified port in a Simulink block. It is an auxiliary function used in conjunction with smbGetConnectedBlocks.
Input Parameters
- b: The name of the block in the Simulink model.
- ph: The port handle, which is the identifier for the specific port whose connection type is being determined.
Output
- s: A string indicating the connection type of the port. It will be either 'RConn' followed by an index or 'LConn' followed by an index, depending on whether the port is a right or left connection.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize an empty string
s to store the result.
- Use the
get_param function to retrieve the port handles of the block b. This includes both right connections (RConn) and left connections (LConn).
- Iterate over each right connection (
RConn) using a loop:
- Check if the current right connection handle matches the specified port handle
ph.
- If a match is found, set
s to 'RConn' followed by the index of the connection.
- Iterate over each left connection (
LConn) using a loop:
- Check if the current left connection handle matches the specified port handle
ph.
- If a match is found, set
s to 'LConn' followed by the index of the connection.
- Return the string
s which indicates the connection type of the port.
This function is useful for identifying the specific connection type of a port within a Simulink block, which can be critical for understanding the block's connectivity in a model.
