Turn off Content Preview Enabled when creating a subsystem in simulink - matlab

I have a script that generates a subsystem and I want to turn off the Content Preview. My script has the following line:
add_block('built-in/Subsystem',[sys '/subsystemA'],'Position',[1150 100 1400 980],'AttributesFormatString','Version: %<Tag>','Tag','5.0.0','ContentPreviewEnabled','off');
This is not working in R2019B. Any suggestions?

Try setting the ContentPreviewEnabled flag after the block has been created.
blk = add_block('built-in/Subsystem',[sys '/subsystemA'],'Position',[1150 100 1400 980],'AttributesFormatString','Version: %<Tag>','Tag','5.0.0');
set_param(blk,'ContentPreviewEnabled','off');
I've tried your initial command in R2018b and R2020a (what I have installed) but was unable to recreate any issue with the content preview not being turned off.

wxPython window randomly freezes on RPi and acts weird afterwards

This Problem occurs on the RPi (3B+, Raspbian Buster) only. I run the program on my Mac without any problems.
Short description of my program:
After entering the mainloop, the program enters a second thread with another loop (call it requestloop) when the designated button is pressed. The requestloop can be left by pressing the button again. This requestloop requests a xml table via url every 10 seconds which is then parsed with ElementTree, sorted and displayed in a wx.grid.Grid. I use grid.ForceRefresh to make sure the grid is updated.
I hope the following snippet helps to understand the above:
def on_btnrun(self, event):
global run
if self.btnrun.Label == "Start":
run = True
thrupt = threading.Thread(target=self.thrupdate)
thrupt.start()
self.btnrun.SetLabel("Ende")
elif self.btnrun.Label == "Ende":
run = False
self.btnrun.SetLabel("Start")
def thrupdate(self):
while run is True:
reset()
self.grid.ClearGrid()
update(self.grid)
self.grid.ForceRefresh()
time.sleep(10)
Problem:
Now as mentioned in the title the whole wx Window freezes after passing the requestloop between roughly 5 and 20 times. This happens completely randomly, I could not find any regularities. The program keeps running though, for it still prints the output in the terminal every cycle (I added this function for testing).
When I now open another window (eg. menu dropwdown) which lays over the wx Window it will be copied onto the wx Window and stay there after I closed it.
Here are some Images to better understand what I mean (ignore all other widgets that I didn't mention, they are just nonfunctional placeholders).
Image of the wx Window before it freezes
Image of the wx Window after it freezes
Image of the wx Window after opening and closing the dropdown menu
Extra-Info: while building wxPython on the RPi I got some warnings and everytime I run the program I get the following one (it says the actual time instead of time):
(program.py:1666): Gtk-Critical **: time: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion ‚extra_space >= 0‘ failed
Question:
I have no idea why any of this happens. Is wxPython not stable on Raspbian? Or did the build partly fail? Or is the RPi not having enough rendering capacity?
Solved it by using wx.CallAfter in the details of the update() method.

how to edit simulink plutosdr qpsk example

I am working with this example from MathWorks: https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/plutoradio/examples/qpsk-transmitter-with-adalm-pluto-radio-1.html
When i run the example it creates an sdrqpsktx variable in the matlab workspace
I want to change sdrqpsktx.MessageBits to something smaller.
When i run the following code in matlab:
a = sdrqpsktx.MessageBits(1:448);
sdrqpsktx.MessageBits = a;
I successfully change sdrqpsktx.MessageBits to a.
However when i run this in simulink sdrqpsktx.MessageBits changes back to its original size.
How do i permanently change sdrqpsktx.MessageBits and run the example with my changes?
Thank you.
There is a model callback, probably a StartFcn, that is overwriting your changes to the variable every time you start the simulation. You either need to delete or modify that code.
To see the code go to:
File->Model Properties->Model Properties, and select the Callback tab.
Any callback that is followed by a * has code in it. Click on that callback to see the code.
See Callbacks for Customized Models for more detailed information.

Programmatically find COM and LPT address in Matlab

I am using Matlab to program an experiment.
In particular, I am using these lines of code to read and send triggers to an external device:
ioObj = io64;
status = io64(ioObj);
io64(ioObj,portWriteAddress,0);
I have found the value for 'portWriteAddress by navigating to:
Device manager -> Ports -> LPT1 -> Resources. Then, in Resources there is an entry called I/O Range/ Settings with a code like 02S7 - 02SS (something like that).
Then I have converted it from Hex to Dec and put it in the line above.
THE PROBLEM IS: I am running this experiment on several different computers. Is there a way to programmatically find this range (or address) information fromMatlab?
Thank you all for your time.
Gluce
P.S.
The OS that I am using is Windows 7 (it should be soon updated to windows 10).
The computers are running either Matlab 2015b or 2016b.

CANoe CAPL function: clear trace window

I'm currently trying to find a way to automate the clearing of the trace window in CANoe.
I've had a look on the help menu within CANoe but there's nothing apart from a manual x option available on the Trace window itself. Does anyone have any ideas?
Syntax
void traceWindowClear(char[] windowName);
Function
Clears the contents of the Trace Window.
Parameters
windowName - The name of the Trace Window.
Return Values

Availability
Since Version 11.0 In Measurement Setup and Simulation / Test Setup.

Simulink: Selected signal originates from an unconnected source

I have a bit of an annoyance rather than a major problem, that I would like to tackle. I have a subsystem that creates a bus inside it and outputs it via a Scope. The bus creation is through From tags, that depend on signals from other components.
Now, when I don't have those components, I get a warning saying something like:
Warning: Selected signal 'Compressor' in 'untitled/Pressure/Bus Selector'
originates from an unconnected source signal
entering 'untitled/Output Data/Bus Creator12' at input port 1
It seems there is no way to turn this off in the Diagnostics pane (Connectivity sub-pane or otherwise). It seems it was a bug in very old versions of Matlab, but was fixed in R13, according to these links:
Link 1,
Link 2 (search for "unconnected source signal" on the page)
I'm using 2013a, a full 12 years later. Anyone have more information on how I can turn this warning off?
