Author Input Signals

Create populated input signal datasets for Simulink models using createInputDataset as the scaffold, then populating with meaningful waveforms while preserving all signal metadata.

When to Use

• User asks to generate or create synthetic waveforms (step, ramp, sine, chirp, pulse, noise, constant) for a model's inports
• User wants to populate a Dataset created by createInputDataset with meaningful signal data
• User needs signals for Signal Editor scenarios
• User describes desired input signal behavior in natural language (e.g., "ramp from 0 to 10", "sine at 5 Hz")
• User wants timetable-based input signals for inports
• User needs to set up function-call timing or configure trigger/enable inport signals
• User wants to replace zero-filled scaffold data with realistic waveforms

When NOT to Use

• User wants to simulate the model, run it, or plot outputs — use simulating-simulink-models instead. This skill only creates input data; it never runs sim() or produces plots.
• User wants to load, import, or read data from existing files (CSV, MAT, spreadsheet, .mat workspace) — even if the destination is a model inport. This skill generates new synthetic waveforms from scratch; it does not read or convert existing recorded/measured data.
