Transferring Linear Model Definitions between Functions (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
and Paste 
buttons on configuration dialog box. After defining a model, click the Copy button to copy that definition to the clipboard. Then, place another linear model function on the simulation diagram, launch the configuration dialog box for that function, and click the Paste button. - Use the Save
and Load 
buttons on the configuration dialog box. After defining a model, click the Save button to save that definition to a data file. This data file is compatible with the LabVIEW Control Design Assistant. Then, place another linear model function on the simulation diagram, launch the configuration dialog box for that function, and click the Load button to specify the data file you saved. Use this method to transfer a model definition to another computer.

Note You must install the LabVIEW Control Design Toolkit to use the Control Design Assistant. Refer to the National Instruments Web site for information about these products. |
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 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.
