Solution

To have multiple versions of System Generator, all intended installs must be compatible with the associated MATLAB version.

When there are multiple installed versions of System Generator, you can run the xlVersion script from the MATLAB console to change versions of System Generator.

- To list the current versions of System Generator associated with MATLAB, type:
>> xlVersion

- If all versions are not listed, type:
>> xlVersion -add <path to other System Generator directory, e.g., %MATLAB%\toolbox\xilinx\sysgen_91\xilinx\sysgen>

- To change to a different version than is currently selected, type:
>> xlVersion <sg_version> (where sg_version is the version of System Generator you want to switch to, e.g., 10.1.3.1386), and MATLAB will be directed to the specified System Generator version.

10.1 and newer
Starting in 11.1 and later you can run the "MATLAB chooser" program for the version of System Generator you wish to use from the Start menu under "Xilinx 11.1 > DSP Tools > Select MATLAB version for Xilinx System Generator".

Prior to 10.1, the MATLAB Chooser was not available, so xlVersion must be used.
