35 xPC Target 1.2 Release Notes
35-2
New Features
This section introduces the new features and enhancements added to xPC
Target 1.2 and xPC Target Embedded Option 1.2 since Version 1.1 of those
products (Release 12.0).
For information about xPC Target and xPC Target Embedded Option features
that are incorporated from recent releases, see the Release Notes for Release 12.
C API
A beta version of the xPC Target C API is available from the Product News
page at
http://www.mathworks.com/support/author/xpc/index.shtml.
Use the C API to create stand-alone graphical user interfaces (GUIs) or console
applications to interact with a real-time target application. xPC Target
includes examples for Visual C/C++ and Visual BASIC.
UDP Driver Support
Communicate with another computer using User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
packets. Add UDP driver blocks to your Simulink model and configure them for
sending and receiving messages from another system.
The UDP driver blocks are not included on the R12.1 CD. Please check the
Product News page at
http://www.mathworks.com/support/author/xpc/
index.shtml
for the drivers when they become available.
Asynchronous Event (Interrupt) Support
Create subsystems that execute asynchronously when an event (interrupt)
occurs.
These subsystems can communicate and be part of a larger model that executes
with a monotonic step size.
We expect to further enhance the Asynchronous Event drivers currently
available on the R12.1 CD. Please check the Product News page at
http://
www.mathworks.com/support/author/xpc/index.shtml
for the enhanced
version.
