New features and changes introduced in this version are
Communication Timeout Applies to all xPC Target API Functions
Link and Target Products Regrouped in New Start, Help, and Demos Category
To support SAE J1939, an automotive CAN protocol, xPC Target provides the blocks described in SAE J1939 in the xPC Target I/O Reference.
xPC Target now supports shared interrupts to allow multiple boards to have the same interrupt numbers. See xPC Target Options in xPC Target Getting Started Guide.
xPC Target 3.3 has new driver blocks, including support for the following boards:
General Standards 24DSI12 (see General Standards 24DSI12 Analog Input)
General Standards PMC66-16AO16 (see General Standards 16AO16 Analog Output)
Both are described in the xPC Target I/O Reference.
The communication timeout of the xPCSetLoadTimeOut and xPCGetLoadTimeOut functions now apply to all communications between the target PC and the host PC. In previous releases, the communication timeout applied only to the initialization and loading of applications.
xPC Target now supports the monitoring and logging of signals from referenced models. See Monitoring Signals from Referenced Models in the xPC Target User's Guide.
You no longer need xPC Target Embedded Option™ to use DOSLoader Mode. See Booting from a DOS Device and Embedded Option in the xPC Target User's Guide.
In previous releases, xPC TargetBox®, which uses xPC Target software, was able to use StandAlone Mode without xPC Target Embedded Option. Starting with this release, this is no longer possible. xPC TargetBox users must have xPC Target Embedded Option to use StandAlone Mode.
The FIFO Mode CAN Message and Object Mode CAN Message blocks capture the data received by the xPC Target CAN receive blocks for translation into CANdb format (see Accessing CANdb DBC Format Databases from the xPC Target Environment in the xPC Target I/O Reference).
This release contains the following new demos:
xpccandb — Illustrates how to access CANdb DBC format databases from xPC Target.
j1939example — Illustrates how to access use the J1939 blocks from xPC Target.
A new product category, Links and Targets, now contains all MathWorks software products that link, target, or cosimulate code.
This change impacts you in the following ways:
Finding and viewing these products through the MATLAB Desktop Start button and in the Help browser Contents and Demos panes.
Using the demo command to access the product demos.
For more about this new product category, see Demos and Help Browser Contents Now Include New Category for Links and Targets, in the MATLAB Release Notes.
If you upgrade your xPC Target software from a previous version, you must recreate the target boot disk and you must rebuild your xPC Target applications. See Booting Target PCs from Boot Floppy Disk in xPC Target Getting Started Guide.
