Transferring Linear Model Definitions between Functions (Control Design and Simulation Module)

If you define a model interactively, you can transfer that model definition to another linear model function using the following two methods:

• Use the Copy to Clipboard and Paste from Clipboard buttons in the configuration dialog box. After defining a model, click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy that definition to the clipboard. Then, place another linear model function on the simulation diagram, display the configuration dialog box for that function, and click the Paste from Clipboard button.
• Use the Save Model and Load Model buttons in the configuration dialog box. After defining a model, click the Save Model button to save that definition to a data file. Then, place another linear model function on the simulation diagram, display the configuration dialog box for that function, and click the Load Model button to specify the data file you saved. Use this method to transfer a model definition to another computer.

The following rules apply when transferring model definitions between functions.

• If you transfer a single-input single-output (SISO) model definition to a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Simulation function or vice versa, the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module populates only the first input-output pair of the target Simulation function.
• You cannot transfer model definitions to another model form. For example, if you save a transfer function model definition to a data file, you cannot load that data file into a State-Space function.
