Scilab - How can I select variables in the Xcos SUPER_f-block mask-editor?

How can I select variables in the Xcos SUPER_f-block mask-editor?

Hi, im using the scilab version 6.0.2 and im trying to create a model with several subsystems. Therefore, I want to create masks on the superblocks. After clicking on edit, the editor opens but I am not able to select any variable. I already defined variables in different ways e.g. in the "set context" window, directly in scilab or with a .sce-file. None of these defined variables was visible in the superblock-mask-editor. Does someone know why i am not able to select any variables? Thank you in advance!

Greetings,

Louis

Hi everyone

I have same problem in Xcos. When I do a Superblock - mask it - I can not choose any variables and not edit. I add lines try define a variable but I cant confirm with ok.

I already tried set the variables firstly in the context (otherwise i cant use a variable in the diagram), firstly mask and then customize, firstly customize and then mask - it doesnt work.

I am using the latest scilab version 6.1.0 on win 10.

I hope someone can help me - I am much in need!

Thanks very much in Advance.

Hi Flavio,

Have you found a solution to this problem ?

I have the exact same issue, I've been searching quite a moment and I still can't find any solution.

Hi Loic

No not yet, I try it on every plattform I can.

Please let me know if you have news.

Hi Flavio,

So far, the most reasonable answer I've found is that this feature is broken since Scilab 6.0.0 according to : http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14155

By the way, I'm using Scilab 6.0.2 on win10.

I've been thinking of a solution to avoid this issue. The idea would be, using the "generate C code" function in order to get the code and add manually the UI mask. But, honestly, i have no idea if it's worth the time. I might give it a try though.

Best regards

Hi Loic Thank you much for your answer. How you think, to generate the c code in a 5.5.2 version where it works, compare it with the variant in 6.0.2/6.1.0... and add will be a big deal? I am sure too slow for that but if I find time will check it. Why it is not implemented as before... Strange... Thank you anyway, hope to find a solution soon! Regards Flavio

Hi Flavio,

Your idea sounds like a good one ! But Indeed, I don't know much about Scilab's versions compatibility, if scilab 6.1.0 is able to use a 5.5.2 block, then it could work.

Hi Loic

Another question: Do you have a stable running Scilab version under win10/64bits (...where it is posssible to mask superblocks - I tried version 5.5.2, masking is working but I can not save with this version, it is always crashing when I want "save as" etc., I do not know if it is a visual studio issue)?

Best regards
