Re: [Scilab-users] Problems with "To workspace" and "From workspace"

[Paul Bignier]

Hi Michael, When I run the simulation a second time, I still get the "Protected variable name" and "Singularity in a block" (block _expression_) errors. The attached diagram does what I think you are trying to do (without running the script). That is, when the ramp block crosses zero, save the value of the sine block in Scilab environment and plot it. The CLKSOMV_f block is just there to give an initial impulse to DOLLAR_f thanks to the added CLOCK_c block. As Serge stated, the variables are "transferred" to the Scilab environment at the end of the simulation, so there is no way of saving a variable AND loading it mid-simulation in one diagram. Hope this helps, Regards, Paul On 04/14/2014 05:01 PM, Michael Ungelehrt wrote: Hello Paul,   thank you for your answer. I had a look at the “DOLLAR” block. It’s a kind of delay block, but it’s not the right block for the task I have to do, I think. I attached a simulation file, which shows the problem. This is not the real simulation, because the real one is more complex.   First of all I load the .sce file. If I start the simulation, the output shows the result with the initial value of C defined in the .sce file and I get the error message “Evaluation problem: value not updated from context. Protected variable name. Please choose another variable name.” After I start the simulation a second time, the output graph shows the correct result and the error message doesn’t appear again.   Is there any possibility to write into my variable C at the beginning of the simulation? Or is it possible to do this task with the “DOLLAR” block like you thought?   Best regards, Michael   Von: Paul Bignier [mailto:paul.bign...@scilab-enterprises.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.

Have you tried replacing the "FROMWSB" block with a "DOLLAR" block? Then it would have the same data and activation inputs as the "TOWS_c" block, and you would not need to pre-define 'C' (just give it an initial value in the block parameters). Hope this helps, Regards, Paul On 04/10/2014 09:27 AM, Michael Ungelehrt wrote: Dear users,   I have a problem with the “To workspace” respectively “From workspace” block in Xcos.   I’d like to write the value of a function to workspace if the value of another function changes its sign from + to -. A short time later I’d like to use this value in a third function and retrieve it from workspace.   For that I evaluate the first function with the “NEGTOPOS_f” block and give the output event to the “TOWS_c” block. The “TOWS_c” block is connected with the second function and should write the value to a vaiable A in the workspace. The “FROMWSB” block is connected with a third function which should use the variable that is saved before.   Now I have the following problem: If I start the simulation, the “FROMWSB” says that the variable A does not exist. So my idea was to define the variable in the variable-browser before I start the simulation. If I do so I get an error at the “TOWS_c” block: “Evaluation problem: value not updated from context. Protected variable name. Please choose another variable name.”   Is there any solution for that problem?   Block parameters: From workspace: Variable name:                C Interpolation Method:                 0 Enable zero crossing:     1 Output at end:                 1   To workspace: Size of buffer:                  1 Scilab variable name:     C Inherit:                                0   Definition of variable C in SciNotes upfront: C.time=0; C.values=0;          Thank you in advance!     Mit freundlichen Grüßen Best regards,   Michael Ungelehrt       Michael Ungelehrt, B.Eng.
