Description
Block Binary Vector Conversion encodes, decodes, and processes binary-encoded vectors. The block allows you to convert a scalar input signal into a logical vector signal using binary code or additional code, and vice versa. You can also change the size and order of the bit indexes of binary logical vectors.
Ports
Input
#
IN_1
—
Input signal
scalar | logical vector
Details
An input signal specified as a scalar or a logical vector.
-
When encoding, the input signal is a scalar.
-
When decoding, the input signal is a logical vector.
When converting a bitstream to a scalar value, any input signal is larger 1 it is considered logical 1 (true). Similarly, any input bit is less than 0 it is considered logical 0 (false).

#
OUT_1
—
Output signal
scalar | logical vector
Details
An output signal specified as a scalar or a logical vector.
-
When encoding, the output signal is a logical vector.
-
When decoding, the output signal is a scalar.

Parameters
Main group
#
Convert —
type of conversion
Scalar to binary-coded vector | Binary-coded vector to scalar | Resize binary-coded vector | Reverse binary-coded vector
Details
The type of conversion specified by one of the following values:
-
Scalar to binary-coded vector— encoding of a scalar input signal into a logical vector. -
Binary-coded vector to scalar— decoding of a logical vector signal into a scalar. -
Resize binary-coded vector— changing the size of the logical vector while preserving the sign using the additional code method. -
Reverse binary-coded vector— changing the order of the bit indexes of the logical vector to the reverse.
When converting a bit stream to a scalar value, any input signal is larger 1 it is considered logical 1 (true). Similarly, any input bit is less than 0 (i.e., any negative number) is considered logical. 0 (false).
