Introduction
xPC Target™ enables you to execute Simulink® and Stateflow® models on a target computer for rapid control prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, and other real-time testing applications. It provides a library of I/O device drivers, a real-time kernel, and an interface for real-time monitoring, parameter tuning, and data logging.
xPC Target Turnkey combines xPC Target with a variety of high-performance, real-time target computers for a complete, fully assembled, real-time testing solution. You can program FPGA boards for xPC Target Turnkey systems using code generated by Simulink HDL Coder™.
