New features and changes introduced in this version are
You can now use Real-Time Workshop® software to generate code from models that include Dials & Gauges Blockset blocks.
For dials, the code you generate contains static values (i.e., the value specified at the time of code generation). Gauges are ignored during code generation, except through the use of external mode (see below). If you want to manipulate dials and view the gauges, you can do so through the Real-Time Workshop external mode.
Support for external mode in Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1.1.1 allows you to incorporate dials and gauges into any target that you can connect to through external mode (e.g., see the xPC Target™ and Real-Time Windows Target™ documentation for those products for details).
For more information about external mode, see the "External Mode" section of the Real-Time Workshop documentation.
A new field, Event on which to output, has been added to the Block Parameters dialog box for dials.
This field has been added to allow dial controls to be more efficient. In Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1.0, at each time step the application queried the dial for its value. Now, in Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1.1.1, when you move a dial, an event occurs that changes the output value of the block. This new event-driven approach is more efficient than the former approach of repeatedly requesting the same information at successive time steps.
The Event on which to output field allows you to specify what events will cause the value of the output to be updated.
Note The field that was called Event in Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1.0 has been renamed in Dials & Gauges Blockset software Version 1.1.1; it is now called Other events and handlers. |
When you open a Version 1.0 model with Version 1.1.1, default values may be automatically inserted in the Event on which to output field. This occurs for built-in Dials & Gauges Blockset blocks when this field is empty.
The Global Majic ActiveX Library, dng_gmslib, contains two new demo sublibraries:
Demo Aircraft Instruments
Demos Joystick Control
These sublibraries contain controls that use time-limited evaluation licenses from Global Majic, Inc. Contact The MathWorks for details about purchasing full licenses for those controls.
In V1.0, double-clicking on the border of a block displays the Block Parameters dialog box. In V1.1.1 (R12.1), double-clicking on a block that is supplied with the blockset (i.e., a built-in block) displays the ActiveX Control Properties dialog box. If you double-click on a user-created block, the Block Parameters dialog box is displayed (i.e., the behavior is the same as in V1.0).
Be aware of this change in mouse response when you double-click on blocks in this blockset.
