What Is the Dials & Gauges Blockset?
The Dials & Gauges Blockset is a collection of blocks that provides graphical
instrumentation for monitoring and controlling signals and parameters in
Simulink
®
models. Using the Dials & Gauges Blockset, you can set up
realistic-looking instruments that are custom-designed for your Simulink
model and visually representative of the environment that you are modeling.
Typical applications of the Dials & Gauges Blockset include:
•Automobile dashboard prototyping
•Airplane cockpit prototyping
•Control room and process instrumentation
•Communications and power system simulation
•Prototyping of control, communications, and medical instrumentation
The Dials & Gauges Blockset requires MATLAB
®
and Simulink. It uses
ActiveX technology and runs only on Microsoft Windows platforms.
