Abstract
A graphical modeling environment is provided for a user to build a model in which signals and/or block parameters can be represented using a fixed-point data type. When the graphical model is executed, the graphical model may generate fixed-point data type signals. An exemplary embodiment may information about fixed-point data type signals on the graphical model. Based on the information provided on the graphical model, the user may be able to determine whether an appropriate number of bits are allocated to the integer part of the fixed-point data type signals and/or whether the total number of bits, i.e., the word length is adequate or over-engineered.
