The first time you open the Waveform Viewer for your Simulink model, Model Composer creates
a wavedata directory
in the directory containing your Simulink model.
Data that describes the display in the Waveform Viewer is stored in the following
files in the wavedata directory:
- <design_name>.wcfg - This is the waveform configuration file. It contains the signal names you are monitoring in your design and how the waveforms for these signals appear in the Waveform Viewer.
- <design_name>.wdb - This is the waveform database file. It contains the data necessary to draw the waveforms in the Waveform Viewer.
The names of the signals that you are monitoring are stored in the Simulink model (SLX file). If the Simulink model cannot access the data in the wavedata
directory (for example, if you moved the model’s SLX file to a different directory and opened it in
the new directory), you can display the monitored signals by opening the Waveform Viewer and
simulating the design. The waveforms for the monitored signals then appear in the Waveform
Viewer.
