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.
The wavedata directory contains the following
data, which describes the display in the Waveform Viewer:
- <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 Simulink model (SLX file) contains the
names of the signals that you are monitoring. 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.
