In the framework of model-based software development, applica- tion functions are checked in an iterative process. This involves repeated runs of the model in Simulink from The Mathworks. Depending on the results, the developer may add function blocks by drag-and-drop operation from libraries. These blocks are param- eterized either directly in the function block with a numeric value or by defining a parameter and its value on the MATLAB console. To modify an existing parameterization, the same steps are executed again, either by looking for a block in the model and changing its value, setting the parameter and its new value on the MATLAB con- sole, or modifying an M-script and running it. To visualize the sig- nal responses that occur when the model runs in Simulink, the user instruments the model by attaching scope blocks to each of the desired signals.
