Creating a Real-Time Testing Environment
You create a real-time testing environment for Simulink models by connecting a host computer, a target computer, and your hardware under test. You connect the host computer running xPC Target, Simulink, Simulink Coder™, and a C compiler to the target computer via a single TCP/IP or RS-232 communications link. You then connect the target computer to your hardware under test and download code generated by Simulink Coder from a Simulink model to the target computer via the communications link.
Once you make the connections, you can:
- Access and interactively control the target computer and xPC Target application
- Tune parameters before, during, and after real-time execution
- Acquire, view, and log signal data
