Simulink
Simulink provides an environment where you model your physical system and
controller as a block diagram. You create the block diagram by using a mouse
to connect blocks and a keyboard to edit block parameters.
Unsupported Simulink blocks — You can use the Real-Time Windows Target
with most Simulink blocks including discrete-time and continuous-time
systems. The Real-Time Windows Target does not support blocks that do not
run in real time nor does it support To File blocks.
Limitations with Real-Time Workshop — When you use a continuous-time
system and generate code with Real-Time Workshop, you must use a fixed-step
integration algorithm. C-code S-functions are supported by Real-Time
Workshop. However, M-code S-functions are not supported.
Real-Time Windows Target I/O driver blocks — With the Real-Time
Windows Target, you can remove the physical system model and replace it with
I/O driver blocks connected to your sensors and actuators. The Real-Time
Windows Target I/O library supports more than 200 boards.
Note Some of the functions on a board may not be supported by the
Real-Time Windows Target. Check the MathWorks Web site for an updated
list of supported boards and functions at
http://www.mathworks.com/products/supportedio.html?prodCode=WT.
Note Version 2.5 of the Real-Time Windows Target requires Simulink
Version 6.0 on the Release 14 CD.
Simulink documentation — For information on using Simulink, see the
Using Simulink documentation. It explains how to connect blocks to build
models and change block parameters. It also provides a reference that
describes each block in the standard Simulink library.
