addDataInterface

Add data interface to Simulink interface dictionary

Since R2022b

In R2023b the Architectural Data section of data dictionaries was introduced. When managing interfaces, data types, constants, and software address methods consider using the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData programmatic interfaces instead. For more information, see Programmatically Manage AUTOSAR Architectural Data.

Description

interfaceObj = addDataInterface(dictObj,interfaceName) adds a data interface with the specified name in the dictionary. Returns the interface object that represents this interface.

To add a data interface with the specified name that mirrors the specified bus object, use the addDataInterface function. For an example that shows more of the workflow for related functions, see Create and Configure Interface Dictionary.

dataInterface1 = addDataInterface(dictAPI,'DataInterface');
 
dataElm1 = addElement(dataInterface1,'DE1');
dataElm1.Type = myValueType1;
 
dataElm2 = addElement(dataInterface1,'DE2');
dataElm2.Type = myStructType2;
dataElm2.Dimensions = '4';
dataElm2.Description = 'I am a data element with DataType = array of struct type';
 
% data element with owned type
dataElm3 = addElement(dataInterface1,'DE3');
dataElm3.Type.DataType = 'single';
dataElm3.Type.Dimensions = '10';
dataElm3.Type.Minimum = '-5';
 
dataInterface2 = addDataInterface(dictAPI,'DataInterface2');

Input Arguments

collapse all

Interface dictionary, specified as a Simulink.interface.Dictionary object. Before you use this function, create or open dictObj by using Simulink.interface.dictionary.create or Simulink.interface.dictionary.open.

interfaceName definition name in Interfaces property array of dictObj, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

Example: 'DataInterface'

Output Arguments

Data interface, returned as a Simulink.interface.dictionary.DataInterface object.

R2023b: Simulink.interface.Dictionary object replaced by Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object

Starting in R2023b, use the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData object to programmatically manage architectural data instead of the Simulink.interface.Dictionary object.
