Single-Precision Conversion for Simulink Models (Fixed-Point Designer)

Toolbox: Fixed-Point Designer Function: DataTypeWorkflow.Single.convertToSingle

Converts user-specified double-precision data types — across block settings, Stateflow chart settings, signal objects, and bus objects — to single precision. Boolean, built-in integer (int8, uint8, int16, …), and fixed-point types are left unchanged.

When to Use

• Converting a Simulink model (.slx) or subsystem from double-precision to single-precision
• Reducing memory footprint for embedded hardware with native single-precision support
• Batch/CI conversions, checking conversion compatibility, or verifying no stowaway doubles remain
• Summarizing the single conversion compatibility report and conversion result for the user in plain language
