Analyzing and Displaying Test Data Chapter 4

You can also use input terminal data type constraints to
ensure that the data input from another object is converted
to a supported type, as shown in the following example.
1 Select Data ⇒ Constant ⇒ Int32 and click to place the object.
Change the value to 7. Clone the object and place the
second Int32 under the first. Change its value to 20.
2 Select Device ⇒ MATLAB Script and place the object to the
right of the constant objects.
3 Select Display Alphanumeric and place it to the right of
the MATLAB Script object.
4 Connect the output pin from the top Int32 object to the
input pin A of the MATLAB Script object. Connect the
output pin from the bottom Int32 object to the input pin
B of the MATLAB Script object. Connect the output pin
from the MATLAB Script object to the input pin of the
Alphanumeric object.
Run the program. It generates a VEE Runtime Error
stating the expected input was a Real64, Complex,
Waveform, or Text, and Int32 input was received instead.
To avoid errors like this, change the input terminal data
type on the MATLAB Script object.
5 Double- click on terminal A to open the Input Terminal
Information dialog box. Click on Required Type: to display
the drop- down menu, select Real64, and click OK.
Double- click on terminal B and change it to a Real64 as
well, as shown in
Figure 123.
6 Run the program. Now the Int32 data is automatically
converted to Real64 on the input pin before it is passed
to MATLAB.
NOTE
For a complete listing and description of the automatic conversions
between VEE data types and MATLAB data types, refer to the VEE online
Help.
