New features and changes introduced in this version are
xPC Target™ Explorer has the following enhancements:
The ability to save an xPC Target application session, including scope and target PC settings, to a standard MATLAB® MAT-file on the host PC (see Saving and Reloading xPC Target™ Application Sessions in the xPC Target™ User's Guide)
The ability to copy (with drag and drop) a signal from one scope to another
The ability to remember resized and relocated xPC Target Explorer windows
Enhanced file system support manipulation
The xPC Target Options pane (see xPC Target™ Options in the xPC Target™ Getting Started Guide) has a new check box, Include model hierarchy on the target application. Selecting this check box includes the model hierarchy as part of the target application.
xPC Target support for Simulink® external mode has the following enhancement and change:
xPC Target now supports uploading real-time data to Simulink scopes when using Simulink external mode (see Signal Tracing with Simulink® External Mode in the xPC Target™ User's Guide).
xPC Target now supports Simulink external mode for all target PCs, not just the default one.
xPC Target now supports the MATLAB Compiler. With this capability, you can use the MATLAB Compiler to take M-files as input and generate redistributable, stand-alone applications that include xPC Target functionality.
xPC Target now supports Open Watcom C/C++ Version 1.3. It no longer supports Watcom compiler C/C++ Version 11.0.
To better support target PC file systems, the xPC Target C API has been enhanced:
The diskinfo data structure was added. It contains information, such as FAT type and number of clusters, for target PC file system disks.
The xPCFSDiskInfo function was added. It returns information, such as FAT type and number of clusters, for target PC file system disks.
If you download a target application to a target PC, and that target application was built from a model that contains referenced models, you can now tune the parameters of the top level of the model. The referenced models themselves must have Inline Parameters on, as in previous releases.
xPC Target 2.9 has new driver blocks, including support for the following boards:
Contec
PIO-32/32F(PCI)
PIO-32/32L(PCI)H
PI-64L(PCI)H
PO-64L(PCI)H
CNT32-8M(PCI)
MPL PATI (PowerPC® controlled Analog and Timing I/O Intelligence)
The drivers for the following have been updated:
| Manufacturer | Change |
|---|---|
Diamond Systems |
|
National Instruments® | The PCI-MIO-16XE-50 blocks have been renamed to PCI-6911E. |
United Electronic Industries (UEI) | The PD2-MF and PDX1-MF 12-bit series blocks have been enhanced to support 3 MHz in addition to 1.25 MHz. |
xPC Target has added the following utility sublibraries:
| Sublibrary | Description |
|---|---|
Digital Input/Utilities, | Contains the following new blocks:
|
Incremental Encoder/Utilities/Rollover | Contains the following new blocks:
|
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.
