Learn more about xPC Target through product demos and online seminars that highlight features or application examples.

Introduction to xPC Target   Introduction to xPC Target  Introduction of xPC Target as an open architecture solution for real-time rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing.   Applications   Rapid Control Prototyping and Hardware-in-the-Loop Using xPC Target  This demo shows how you can use xPC Target for real-time rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop simulation.   Robot-Arm Control System using xPC Target  This demo shows how you can setup, interact, and control a robot arm in real-time with xPC Target. Highlights include showing how you can tune parameters, log data, and interface with a robot arm from Simulink® and the xPC Target Explorer.   Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing of a Position Control System Demo    In the first part of this demo, we show how you can use Simulink to model a position control system for radar tracking. The controller is separated from the plant and is discretized. Additional nonlinearities are added in the form of saturation. Finally, the controller model is downloaded to the Freescale MPC555 microcontroller and the plant model to xPC Target for hardware-in-the loop testing.
