Real-Time Workshop® Embedded Coder™

Mapping Application Requirements to Configuration Options

The first step to applying Real-Time Workshop^® Embedded Coder™ configuration options to the application development process is to consider how your application requirements, particularly with respect to traceability, efficiency, and safety, map to code generation options in a model configuration set.

Parameters that you set in the Solver, Data Import/Export, Diagnostics, and Real-Time Workshop panes of the Configuration Parameters dialog box affect the behavior of a model in simulation and the code generated for the model.

Consider questions such as the following:

• What settings might help you debug your application?

• What is the highest priority for your application — debugging, traceability, efficiency, extra safety precaution, or some other criteria?

• What is the second highest priority?

• Can the priority at the start of the project differ from the priority required for the end result? What tradeoffs can be made?

Once you have answered these questions, review Mapping of Application Requirements to the Optimization Pane. This table maps requirements of debugging, traceability, efficiency, and safety precautions to configuration parameters that are available for the Embedded Real-Time (ERT) target.
