Description

This block declares a constant signal with a DateTime or TimeSpan Data Type.

The "default" field expects a MATLAB structure definition:

A DateTime would look like the following:

struct('year', number, 'month', number, 'day', number, 'hour', number, 'minute', number, 'second', number, 'microsecond', number)
All fields must be specified with unsigned integer Data Type.

A TimeSpan would look like the following:

struct('days', number, 'hours', number, 'minutes', number, 'seconds', number, 'microseconds', number)
All fields must be specified with signed integer Data Type.

The 'Data Type' can be determined automatically by the content of the 'Default' field, or selected manually.

These scripts help define these data types:
>> help motohawk_datetime_matlabtime2datestruct
>> help motohawk_datetime_matlabtime2timespanstruct
