How do I execute "Running All Signal Groups" on Signal Builder GUI from the command line in Simulink 7.2 (R2008b)?

I have created several signal groups with the Signal Builder GUI. I would like to know if there is an equivalent command line functionality for the "Run All" button.

The ability to run all signal groups from the command line is not available in Simulink.

To work around the limitation, see below.

If you are using Simulink 7.1 (R2008a) or later, execute the following commands:

% Assuming the Signal Builder Editor is open

t=findall(0,'Type','figure','Tag','SignalBuilderGUI');

sigbuilder('playAll',t)

If you are using Simulink 6.3 (R14SP3) to Simulink 7.0 (R2007b), please see below. Consider the 'sf_car' demo. To run all the signal groups, you need to use the following code:

open_system('sf_car')

time = signalbuilder('sf_car/User Inputs')

% Check to see if there are only one group.

if iscell(time)

      numtabs = size(time, 2)

else

      numtabs = 1

end

% Loop through signal groups

for k = 1:numtabs

      signalbuilder('sf_car/User Inputs','activegroup', k);

      sim('sf_car');

end

If you would like the coverage information collected as well (which the 'Play All' does

by default if you have Simulink Verification & Validation) then you should

use CVSIM instead of SIM command in the above code.
