New features and changes introduced in this version are
A beta version of the xPC Target C API is available from the Product News page at http://www.mathworks.com/support/product/XP/productnews/productnews.html.
Use the C API to create stand-alone graphical user interfaces (GUIs) or console applications to interact with a real-time target application. xPC Target includes examples for Microsoft Visual C++ and Microsoft Visual Basic.
Communicate with another computer using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets. Add UDP driver blocks to your Simulink model and configure them for sending and receiving messages from another system.
The UDP driver blocks are not included on the R12.1 CD. Check the Product News page at http://www.mathworks.com/support/product/XP/productnews/productnews.html for the drivers when they become available.
Create subsystems that execute asynchronously when an event (interrupt) occurs.
These subsystems can communicate and be part of a larger model that executes with a monotonic step size.
We expect to further enhance the Asynchronous Event drivers currently available on the R12.1 CD. Check the Product News page at http://www.mathworks.com/support/product/XP/productnews/productnews.html for the enhanced version.
Use CAN FIFO model I/O drivers to either monitor an entire CAN network, or to minimize driver latency for certain applications.
Use 10 or 100 megabit/second communication between the host and target computers for downloading real-time application and uploading signal data. The communication uses the TCP/IP protocol with an Ethernet card in both the host and target computers.
The xPC Target kernel runs on PCs (CPUs) that do not have a hardware floating-point unit. If needed, xPC Target uses a software floating-point emulator.
Upload log data about five times faster or better. Upload scope data about three times faster.
xPC Target 1.2 includes new device drivers blocks:
New blocks to support additional I/O boards
Blocks to support a GPIB field bus using a National Instruments GPIB controller and an RS232 connection to the target PC
Blocks to support CAN and CAN FIFO networks
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.
