Description

The Simulink^®engine calls this routine to set the data type ofportwhenporthas an inherited data type. The data type IDidis the proposed data type for this port. Data type IDs for the built-in data types can be found insimstruc_types.h. The S-function must check whether the specified data type is a valid data type for the specified port.

If it is a valid data type, a C MEX S-function sets the data type ofportusingssSetOutputPortDataType. Otherwise, the S-function reports an error, usingssSetErrorStatus. This method is only valid for simulation. C MEX S-functions must enclose the method in a#if defined(MATLAB_MEX_FILE)statement.

The S-function can also set the data types of other input and output ports if their data types have not been set. The engine reports an error if the S-function changes the data type of a port whose data type has been set.

If the block does not implement this method, the engine assumes that the block supports any data type and sets the output port data type to the specified value.

The engine calls this method until all output ports with inherited data types have their data types specified.
