Title: Tech Talk #2 -Modeling decision logic in Stateflow
Presenter: Michal Blaho, Application Engineer at Humusoft
Short Description:Decision logic is part of many systems that use supervisory control, task scheduling or fault management. Stateflow enables you to design and develop such logic in a graphical language. In this talk Iwill create and analyze simple decision logic in Stateflow. Virtual training model will be used to discuss more complex logic and code generation.
