Why Use the Simulink Fixed Point Software?
The Simulink Fixed Point software allows you to efficiently
design control systems and digital filters that you will implement
using fixed-point arithmetic. With the Simulink Fixed Point software,
you can construct Simulink and Stateflow models that contain
detailed fixed-point information about your systems. You can then
perform bit-true simulations with the models to observe the effects
of limited range and precision on your designs.
You can configure the Fixed-Point Tool to automatically log
the overflows, saturations, and signal extremes of your simulations.
You can also use it to automate scaling decisions and to compare your
fixed-point implementations against idealized, floating-point benchmarks.
You can use the Simulink Fixed Point software with the Real-Time Workshop product
to automatically generate efficient, integer-only C code representations
of your designs. You can use this C code in a production target or
for rapid prototyping. You can also use the Simulink Fixed Point software
with the Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder product to generate real-time
C code for use on an integer production, embedded target.
