xPC Target

All Speedgoat products are optimised for the use together with Simulink® and xPC Target™ from The MathWorks which guarantees highest performance and a seamless integration between your hardware under test and your Simulink system design.

xPC Target provides a high-performance host-target environment that enables you to connect your Simulink and Stateflow models to physical systems and execute them in real time. xPC Target includes proven capabilities for rapid prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and application deployment.

The above image shows a host-target xPC Target-based prototyping environment using a laptop PC as the host computer and a Speedgoat real-time target machine as the target.

Key features include:
 

• Real-time kernel for running applications generated from Simulink and Stateflow models on Speedgoat real-time hardware
• Sample rates approaching 50 KHz/20µ, depending on processor performance level, model size, and I/O complexity
• Flexible boot options incl. CD, hard disk, CompactFlash, network, and floppy disk
• Real-time tuning of application parameters
• Real-time signal display and data logging for post-test analysis
• C and COM APIs, letting you programmatically develop graphical user interfaces to access and control real-time applications

Speedgoat solutions extend xPC Target with:

 

• turnkey real-time target machines
• a wide range of commercial-of-the-shelf I/O connectivity
• custom FPGA-based I/O functionality
• highest cycle-rate FPGA-based algorithmic implementations
• quick-start and usability features (preinstalled kernel, USB kernel transfer, ..)
• quality and implementation services
