What Is xPC Target?
xPC Target is a host-target solution for prototyping, testing, and deploying
real-time systems using standard PC hardware. It is an environment that uses
a target PC, separate from the host PC, for running real-time applications.
In this environment you use the desktop computer as a host PC with
MATLAB
®
, Simulink
®
, and Stateflow
®
(optional) to create models using
Simulink blocks and Stateflow diagrams. After creating your model, you can
run simulations in nonreal-time.
xPC Target allows you to add I/O blocks to your model, and then use the host
PC with Real-Time Workshop
®
, Stateflow Coder (optional) and a C compiler to
create executable code. The executable code is download from the host PC to
the target PC running the xPC Target real-time kernel. After downloading the
executable code, you can run and test your target application in real-time.
