Step 2.3 Enabling secondary IDE
Go to xPC Explorer, under TargetPC1> Configuration> Settings and enable “Enable Secondary IDE” (see
figure above). This will allow you to store data on the CF card. This data can be anything starting from
error messages, A/D readings, serial port inputs etc.
Step 3 Model file Configuration
This needs to be done for every real time model you build. However unlike the setup processes in step 1
and step 2, these configurations are local to individual files. Since, the model files will be saved (not on
the lab computers); these configurations will not require redoing every time unless you specifically want
to change them.
Go to MATLAB main window, then click on File> New> Model
A new Simulink model file will appear. Then go to Simulink> Configuration Parameters as shown above.
In the window that appears set “Fixed step size” based on the lowest sample time you want to use on your
model (see figure below).
