xPC Target™ 3.4

Product Description

Introduction

xPC Target provides a high-performance, host-target prototyping environment that enables you to connect your Simulink and Stateflow models to physical systems and execute them in real time on PC-compatible hardware. xPC Target includes proven capabilities for rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop simulation of control systems.

xPC Target enables you to add I/O interface blocks to your models, automatically generate code with Real-Time Workshop and Stateflow Coder (both available separately), and download the code to a second PC running the xPC Target real-time kernel.

You can use any PC with Intel or AMD 32-bit processors as your real-time target. The target PC can be a desktop computer, an industrial computer, PC/104, PC/104+, CompactPCI, all-in-one embedded PC, or any other PC-compatible form factor.

With the xPC Target Embedded Option (available separately), you can deploy your real-time embedded systems on PC hardware for production, data acquisition, calibration, and testing applications.

Key Features

  • Runs applications generated from Simulink and Stateflow& models using a real-time kernel on any PC
  • Supports any desktop PC, PC/104, CompactPCI, industrial PC, or single-board PC computer as a real-time target system
  • Achieves sample rates approaching 50 KHz, depending on processor performance level and model size
  • Supports more than 250 standard I/O boards, with an extensive I/O device driver library, including driver source code
  • Enables signal acquisition and parameter tuning from the host or target PC
  • Acquires and logs data in real time to RAM or the file system of the target PC
  • Displays data and signal traces on the host PC, target PC, or both
  • Provides an integrated host graphical user interface and an object-oriented, MATLAB command-line interface to access the target application running on one or more target PC
  • Offers host-target communication via RS-232 or TCP/IP protocol
  • Supports the programmatic development of custom graphical user interfaces for access to signals and parameters
