Step3: Programming with Stateflow

***What Is Stateflow?

     -Stateflow is a graphical design and development tool for control and supervisory logic used in conjunction with Simulink. 

     Using Stateflow you can...

• Visually model and simulate complex reactive systems based on finite state machine theory

• Design and develop deterministic, supervisory control systems

• Easily modify your design, evaluate the results, and verify the system's behavior at any stage of your design

• Automatically generate integer, floating-point, or fixed-point code directly from your design (requires Stateflow Coder)

• Take advantage of the integration with the MATLAB and Simulink environments to model, simulate, and analyze your system

***Examples of Stateflow Applications

    The following types of applications benefit directly from the use of Stateflow:

• Embedded systems

  • Avionics (planes)

  • Automotive (cars)

  • Telecommunications (for example, routing algorithms)

  • Commercial (computer peripherals, appliances, and so on)

  • Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) (process control)

  • Industrial (machinery)

• Man-machine interface (MMI)

  • Graphical user interface (GUI)

• Hybrid systems

  • Air traffic control systems (digital signal processing (DSP)+control+MMI)
