Defining state chart variables

To exchange data between the Embed model and the state chart, you use variables. State chart variables are declared in the State Chart Block Properties dialog box. In this example, you will use four input variables and three output variables.

To define input and output variables

1.    Add four input pins and three output pins to the state chart block using the Edit > Add Connector command (or  toolbar button). Your state chart block will look like this:

2.    To edit the attributes for each variable, depress the CTRL key and right-click the state chart block.

3.    Click the Activity Manager tab.

4.    To edit a variable, double click over each attribute (name, type, and scope) to make the changes shown below:

5.    Click OK.
