update

Update state of a System object based on inputs

Syntax

update(obj,input1, input2, ..., inputN)

Description

update(obj,input1, input2, ..., inputN) updates the states of a System object™ based on the algorithm specified in the updateImpl method.

Examples

Update the states of a System object

Call update to update the states of a System object.

Consider a System object object defined as,

classdef UnitDelayNondirect < matlab.System
% UnitDelayNondirect Delay input by one time step

properties(DiscreteState)
        State
    end

    methods(Access = protected)
        function resetImpl(obj)
            obj.State = 0; % Initialize states
        end
        function y = outputImpl(obj, ~)
            y = obj.State; % Output current state
 
        end
        function updateImpl(obj,u)
            obj.State = u; % Update state with input
        end
    end
end

Create an instance of the System object and provide it with an input.

a = UnitDelayNondirect();
out = a(1);

Call update to update the states of the System object with new inputs.

update(a,2);

Input Arguments

obj — System object

System object

System object handle used to access properties, states, and methods specific to the object.

input1, input2, ..., inputN — Inputs to the System object

inputs

Inputs to the System object. The order of inputs must match the order of inputs defined in the updateImpl method.
