SLEX: Integrating Code with Simulink

Note: A 1 hour test session will be scheduled one day prior to the first day of class. This session is to verify that the visual and audio connection is working properly on your computer. The required product software should be installed for the test session. It is highly recommended that you attend this session to ensure a successful and timely class start.

This one-day course presents multiple methods for integrating code into Simulink^® models. The focus is on integrating C and MATLAB^®. 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.
