Calculating Latency of DSP Builder System if Channel In and Out Blocks not used

Hi everyone, 

 

I want to implement basic averaging block in dsp builder and control it by using qsys.  

 

I have added five register field to obtain data from qsys and then I add them by using five inputs adder then multiply the result with 0.2. 

Finally, I write the result of the multiplication to the RegOut block. 

I have not used channel in and channel out blocks as in the example of demo_regs.mdl. Therefore, I do not know the latency of my dsp builder system. 

If I read the RegOut block soon after writing the data registers I read wrong result because the dsp builder system has not calculated the result yet. 

 

How can I know the latency of my dsp builder system and how can I understand finishing of the calculation? 

 

Thanks, 

 

Omer

just pass some data and visualise the result (using spectroscope block of simulink) at any point

Hi Kaz, 

 

This is my dsp builder system. Where can I pass some data and see the result from the scope?

unfortunately can't open your design. 

for input use any of the "sources" blocks(of simulink) 

for visualising use scope from "sinks" blocks(of simulink)

Have you tried using GPIn / GPOuts, then using Properties ... > Block Annotation > latency = %<latencyCorrection>
