Description

This block declares a date DataStore with a date Data Type.

The "default" field expects a MATLAB structure definition:

A date 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 'Date 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
