Simulink 3D Animation — The Simulink 3D Animation product enables
you to d isplay a Simulink u ser interface m o del in 3-D. I t provides Simulink
blocks that communicate with xPC Target interface blocks. These blocks then
communicate to a graphical interface. This graphical interface is a Virtual
Reality M odeling Languag e (VRML) world displayed with a Web brow ser
using a VRML plug-in.
Altia De sign — Altia also prov id es Simul in k blocks that com m unicate with
xPC Target interface blocks. These blocks then communicate with Altia’s
graphical interface or with a W eb browser using the Altia ProtoPlay plug-in.
Creati
ng a Custom Graphical Interface
The xPC
Target block library provides Simulink interface blocks to connect
graph
ical interface elements to your target application. The steps for creating
your o
wn custom user interface are listed below:
1 In th
e Simulink target a pplication m odel, decide which b lock parameters
and b
lock signals you want to have access to through graphical interface
cont
rol devices and graphical interface display devices.
2 Tag all block parameters in the Simulink mode l that y ou want to be
connected to a control device. See “ Marking Block Parameters” o n page
10-7.
3 Tag all signals in Simulink model that you want to be connected to a
display device. See “Marking Block Signals” on page 10-9.
