Migrating From VeriStand Model Framework to VeriStand Model Generation Support 24.3 or Newer Version

I am using VeriStand 2024 Q2 with MATLAB R2020b. I plan to use MATLAB 2022b with the VeriStand Model Generation Support 24.3. As the Simulink model was built in MATLAB R2020b with VeriStand Model Framework, I can't compile the model with the VeriStand Model Generation Support directly. I have to replace the old VeriStand In/Out blocks with the new VeriStand In/Out blocks, but the Simulink contains hundreds of In/Out blocks. Replacing them manually is time-consuming. This article will introduce migrating from the VeriStand Model Framework to the VeriStand Model Generation Support 24.3 or new version.

1. Direct MATLAB's directory to your model's subfolder. Let's use the Simulink model - InOut.slx as an example.

2. Uninstall VeriStand Model Framework from NI Package Manager, then install VeriStand Model Generation Support Addon 24.3 or newer version from MATLAB Add-Ons. Restart MATLAB. 

3. Verify if the old VeriStand In/Out blocks are shown as ??? in the Simulink model. 
4.  Redirect MATLAB's directory to your model's subfolder. Run the following commands sequentially. It will load the model and replace NIVeriStand In/Out blocks with the new VeriStand In/Out blocks.

• load_system("InOut")
• load_system('VeriStandBlocks')
• replace_block("InOut","NI VeriStand Inport","VeriStandBlocks/VeriStand In")
• replace_block("InOut","NI VeriStand Outport","VeriStandBlocks/VeriStand Out")
• save_system("InOut")

6. Verify if all the NIVeriStand In/Out blocks have been replaced.
7. Refer to Creating Simulation Models Using VeriStand Model Generation Support Add-On to compile the Simulink model.
