Variable Selector
5-505
•Clip index – Clip the index to the nearest valid value, and do not issue an 
alert. Example: For a 64-by-N input, an index of 72 is clipped to 64; an index 
of -2 is clipped to 1.
•
Clip and warn – Display a warning message in the MATLAB command 
window, and clip as above.
•
Generate error – Display an error dialog box and terminate the simulation.
Note The Variable Selector block always copies the selected input rows to a 
contiguous block of memory (unlike the Simulink Selector block).
Dialog Box
Select
The dimension of the input to select, 
Rows or Columns. Tunable.
Selector mode
The type of indexing operation to perform, 
Variable or Fixed. Variable 
indexing uses the input at the 
Idx port to select rows or columns from the 
input at the 
In port. Fixed indexing uses the Elements parameter value to 
select rows from the input at the 
In port, and disables the Idx port.
