Creating a Real-Time Testing Environment

You create a real-time testing environment for Simulink models by 连接ing a host computer, a target computer, and your hardware under test. You 连接 the host computer running xPC Target, Simulink, Simulink Coder™, and a C compiler to the target computer via a single TCP/IP or RS-232 communications link. You then 连接 the target computer to your hardware under test and download code generated by Simulink Coder from a Simulink model to the target computer via the communications link.

Once you make the 连接ions, you can:

• Access and interactively control the target computer and xPC Target application
• Tune parameters before, during, and after real-time execution
• Acquire, view, and log signal data
