New features and changes introduced in this version are:

• Test Vector Data Viewer

• Test Property Enhancements

• Minor Enhancements to Simulink Element

• Plot Element Transition

Test Vector Data Viewer

You can now view the test vector data while configuring a Probability Distribution test vector. The viewer will display non-time-based data for this type of test vector, allowing you to view your data before running a test.

Probability Distribution test vector data is displayed in a histogram. To access the data viewer, click the View Data button in the Insert Test Vector dialog box.

For more information see Viewing Data While Configuring the Test Vector.

Test Property Enhancements

Enhancements were added to saving of results files in the Test Properties pane. New output folder options for the test results and the Test Report allow you to select between several relative locations, which makes moving or sharing files easier, or to assign an absolute location.

For more information see Saving Test Results and Generating a Test Report.

Minor Enhancements to Simulink Element

Minor enhancements have been done in the Simulink element, including an easier way to extract time data and changing the model end time when importing all signals.

Plot Element Transition

The Vector Plot and Scalar Plot elements are being replaced by the General Plot element that was introduced in R2008b. The General Plot element supports all MATLAB plot types. You can plot any type of data, using any MATLAB plot types or Simulink data.

The General Plot element has special support for the many time-based data formats produced from a Simulink model. The supported data types include an array, a structure, a structure with time, or a time series. You can also plot Simulink data provided by test vectors, such as the Signal Builder Block test vector, the Simulink Design Verifier Data File test vector, or the Spreadsheet Data test vector.

Compatibility Considerations

The following outline describes the timing of the transition process:

• R2009a and R2009b — You should no longer create new Vector Plot or Scalar Plot elements. Tests containing the old elements will continue to work, but we recommend that you do not create any new ones. We recommend using the General Plot element.

• A future release — You can no longer create new Vector Plot or Scalar Plot elements. A warning will appear if you load a test containing the old elements. Tests containing the old elements will continue to work, but you cannot create any new ones.

  You will not lose the use of the old elements in existing tests. Previously created Vector Plot and Scalar Plot elements will be converted to the General Plot element.

• A future release — You can no longer load tests containing Vector Plot or Scalar Plot elements. If you try to load one, you will get an error, and will have to convert the element to the General Plot element. Previously created Vector Plot and Scalar Plot elements will be converted to the General Plot element.
