Track Time In stateflow

Hello, I'm quite new to state flow diagram. They seem very powerful. I've followed some tutorials but I still don't get a thing. How can I keep track of time inside a state? I'll explain: let's suppose I want a ramp (or a sin) as output as a function of the time in the state out = A * t. Is there a simple way to get t? The only thing that I figured out is a self-transition every after(0.01,sec){t=t+0.01}. Thank you, Alex

Hi,

There are N number of ways to implement this logic. Here are some.

1. Using State action

on after(0.01,sec): t=t+0.01

2. Using Sample time

during: t=t+SAMPLE_TIME % where SAMPLE_TIME is defined in Workspace

Hope this helps. Thanks.
