9.4.2. Defining Unique DSP Builder Design Parameters

Define unique parameters to avoid parameters clashing with other open designs and to help clear the workspace.

Procedure

  1. Create named structures and append a common root to all parameter names.
    For example; 
    my_design_params.clockrate = 200;
my_design_params.samplerate = 50;
my_design_params.inputChannels = 4;
  2. Clear the specific workspace variables you create with a clear-up script that run when you close the model. Do not use clear all.
    For example,. if you use the named structure my_design_params, run clear my_design_params;. You may have other temporary workspace variables to clear too.
