How to put variable name in Y-limits of a scope in Simulink programmatically from Matlab
I want to put variables names in the Y-limits of a scope in Simulink( v10) with Matlab (v2019b). To be able to control the Y-limits of my scopes with variables associated to the thing i'm measuring. I can do it with the GUI via the Y-limits (minimum) and Y-limits (maximum) but the value stored in Y-limits (when i do "get_param(path,'scopeconfiguration')") is the vector with the numerical value. But when I try to do it programmaticall, I can't put variable names. As it only accept 2-element finite numeric vector.

To set variable names as the Y-limits of a Scope in Simulink programmatically from MATLAB, you can follow these steps:
1. Define the Variable:
First, define your variable with the desired Y-limits.
Ymin = -10; % Minimum Y-limit
Ymax = 10; % Maximum Y-limit
2. Get the Scope Block Handle:
Obtain the handle for the Scope block in your Simulink model.
scopeBlock = get_param('your_model/Scope', 'Handle');
3. Set the Y-Limits Programmatically:
Use the `set_param` function to set the Y-limits of the Scope block.
set_param(scopeBlock, 'YMin', 'Ymin', 'YMax', 'Ymax');
Putting it all together, the complete code would look like this:
% Define the variables
Ymin = -10; % Minimum Y-limit
Ymax = 10; % Maximum Y-limit
% Get the Scope block handle
scopeBlock = get_param('your_model/Scope', 'Handle');
% Set the Y-limits programmatically
set_param(scopeBlock, 'YMin', 'Ymin', 'YMax', 'Ymax');
Replace `'your_model/Scope'` with the actual path to your Scope block in the Simulink model.
This will set the Y-limits of the Scope block to the values defined in `Ymin` and `Ymax`.
