2 Installation and Configuration
2-18
Testing the Installation
The Real-Time Widows Target includes several demo models. You can use one
of the demo models to test your installation. Demo models simplify testing of
your installation since they are configured with settings that include the
correct target, scope settings, sample time, and integration algorithm.
Once you have completed the installation of the Real-Time Windows Target
and the kernel, we recommend a quick test by at least running the model
rtvdp.mdl. If you change your installation, we also recommend doing this test
as a quick check to confirm that the Real-Time Windows Target is still working.
This section includes the following topics:
• “Running the Model rtvdp.mdl” on page 2-18
• “Displaying Status Information” on page 2-21
• “Detecting Excessive Sample Rates” on page 2-22
• “Demo Library” on page 2-22
Running the Model rtvdp.mdl
The model rtvdp.mdl does not have any I/O blocks, so that you can run this
model regardless of the I/O boards in your computer. Running this model will
test the installation by running Real-Time Workshop, the Real-Time Windows
Target, and the Real-Time Windows Target kernel.
After you have installed the Real-Time Windows Target kernel, you can test
the entire installation by building and running a real-time application. The
Real-Time Windows Target includes the model
rtvdp.mdl, which already has
the correct Real-Time Workshop options selected for you:
