Set breakpoints to stop execution in specific objects, such as charts, states, transitions, graphical functions, truth table functions, local events, and input events. Background in case you did not know, for many releases, it has been possible to do continuoustime modeling in stateflow. The main state is similar to the two previous examples so lets look at mode and event. The stateflow block library contains blocks to model state diagrams, state transition tables, and truth tables. Usually, a transition is valid when the source state of the transition is active and the transition label is valid.
