output check box selected, and the fourth block (DSP Constant3) has the 
Interpret vector parameters as 1-D check box selected.
In addition to the various output dimensions in the model, you can observe 
three different kinds of signals:
•Sample-based matrix signal – The DSP Constant and DSP Constant1 blocks 
generate sample-based matrices (2-by-3 and 3-by-2, respectively) because 
the 
Frame-based output check box in those blocks is not selected. The 
sample-based matrices can each be considered to each have six independent 
channels.
•Frame-based matrix signal – The DSP Constant2 and DSP Constant4 blocks 
generate frame-based matrices (2-by-3 and 3-by-1, respectively, and 
represented by double lines) because the 
Frame-based output check box in 
those blocks is selected. The 2-by-3 frame-based matrix is considered to have 
three independent channels, each containing two consecutive samples. The 
3-by-1 frame-based matrix (column vector) is considered to have one 
independent channel, containing three consecutive samples.
•1-D vector signal – The DSP Constant3 block generates a length-3 1-D vector 
signal because the
