SLEX: Integrating Code with Simulink

This one-day course presents multiple methods for integrating code into Simulink^® models. The focus is on integrating C and MATLAB^® code. Topics discussed include C MEX S-functions, Embedded MATLAB code, and the Legacy Code Tool for wrapping external C functions into Simulink. This course is intended for intermediate to advanced Simulink users.
