SAM SDK automation using Matlab

I am trying to automate a solar power tower (SPT) model in Matlab using the SDK.

My goal is to loop the SPT model multiple times using an array of inputs for some variables, e.g. c_atm_0. 

I modified the already existing command based on one single value as follows:
a0= [-0.000558728];
ssccall('data_set_number', data, 'c_atm_0', a0);
    
To a command which I thought can take an array of values as follows:
a0= [-0.000558728;     -0.000347126; -6.89E-05;   4.73E-05];
ssccall('data_set_array', data, 'c_atm_0', a0);
    
However, I got this message in the Matlab command window:
precheck input: variable 'c_atm_0' (<array>) of wrong type, <number> required.

Can you please help me change this single value based set up in order for the model to accept multiple values.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mohammed,

In this case, the data type of c_atm_0 is a number, so you can not assign an array value to it.

The following should all work

Thanks for the confirmation, I believe I have a better understanding now.

Thanks a lot.
