Introduction

Simulink models run at one or more sample times. The Simulink product provides considerable flexibility in building multirate systems, that is, systems with more than one sample time. However, this same flexibility also allows you to construct models for which the code generator cannot generate correct real-time code for execution in a multitasking environment. To make multirate models operate correctly in real time (that is, to give the right answers), you sometimes must modify your model or instruct the Simulink engine to modify the model for you. In general, the modifications involve placing Rate Transition blocks between blocks that have unequal sample times. The following sections discuss issues you must address to use a multirate model successfully in a multitasking environment. For a comprehensive discussion of sample times, including rate transitions, see Working with Sample Times in the Simulink User's Guide.
