i have a problem with serial writing to a microcontroller through simulink blocks. i'm using "to instrument" block, available in matlab 7.1 version, in simulink. The buffer size is 16384. and the baud rate is 9600. the timeout parameter i have specified is 160. i need to send only 3 values "100, 1 , 150" continuously through the port. no other data is transmitted. the error is random and reads "timeout occurred during serial.fwrite". there are lots of solutions in matlab central using code lines. but could'nt find any for simulink. pls help. this is urgent.

Hi Maria,
