SIT unable to 'look under' simulink library link

[AmitDeshpande]

Bob,

  Thanks for the answer. But that bothers me. Is that support not available because both SIT and Matlab/Simulink versions are new, or is it going to stay that way? To be honest, if it is going to stay that way, then SIT becomes pretty much unusable for our company. I am pretty sure most of the companies those use simulink as a modeling environment won't be able to use this because everyone uses maske and library linked subsystems. Could you please let me know if this is just temporary or the support to library links is discontinued from the newer versions of SIT?
  Thanks again for talking to the SIT developers to give me the answer.

Regards,

Amit

Let me elaborate on my response.  If you search the MathWorks support for "creating block masks" you will find documentation describing how a mask hides the subsystem's contents.

From this description of a Mask, we are just respecting the Mask; you can still reference the inputs and outputs, but not the internal parameters.  We do not want to prevent you from using linked libraries; if there is a value you need, can you make it an input or output of the subsystem?  At this point this is expected behavior with SIT, however, if you would like to file a product suggestion (these are taken seriously) follow this link (from NI.com click 'Contact NI' and then Product Feedback):

Let me know if you have any other concerns.  Cheers!

Bob,

 I understand what you are trying to say. I will make a suggestion via the link you have provided, because I believe that it is absolutely essential to be able to go under the blocks and instruments the model. As far as making those values and input/output may work for a limited set of values, but some of the models we are talking about 10s and 100s of such values. The problem becomes more accute when these values are very deep into hirarchy; bringing all those signals to the top is a nightmare and also not a practice or a good modeling style. But, within a limit it is a workable option.
 Thanks for the support. I will go ahead and write to your development group. 🙂

Amit
