Simulink Desktop Real-Time
Generate real-time applications for simulations that run on a desktop computer and interface with I/O devices in the computer
Description
Use the Simulink Desktop Real-Time app to configure a model to build and run real-time applications on a desktop computer. The app configures the model to use the Simulink Desktop Real-Time code generation target and other configuration parameters for code generation. When you open the app, a Desktop Real-Time tab is added to the toolstrip. The Desktop Real-Time tab represents groups of tasks in the Simulink Desktop Real-Time workflow.
After you use the app to configure the model for Simulink Desktop Real-Time, you can perform these and more tasks from the Desktop Real-Time tab in the Simulink Editor.
Use the actions in the Mode section to select the simulation mode.
UI Control | Description |
|---|---|
|
| Compile model into real-time application and run the application on desktop computer in real time kernel mode. Monitor signals and tune parameters (external mode). For more information, see Real-Time Execution in Run in Kernel Mode. |
|
| Compile model into real-time application and run the application on desktop computer in real time priority mode. Monitor signals and tune parameters (external mode). For more information, see Real-Time Execution in Run in Priority Mode. |
|
| Communicate with hardware inputs and outputs in real-time (normal mode). For more information, see Real-Time Execution in Connected IO Mode. |
Use the actions in the Prepare section to configure the model and tune parameters.
UI Control | Description |
|---|---|
|
| Configure model to run on hardware. The Configuration Parameters dialog box opens. |
|
| Send signal to the Simulation Data Inspector and workspace. Select one or more signals before using this button. |
|
| Add a viewer to the selected signals. Select one or more signals before using this button. |
|
| Allocate memory and make signals observable when using a Floating Scope. Select one or more signals before using this button. |
|
| Show table to manage signal logging and viewing. The Signal Table tab opens at the bottom of the Simulink Editor. |
|
| Configure logging. The Data Inport/Export tab of the Configuration Parameters dialog box opens. |
|
| Launch external mode control panel. The control panel opens. |
|
| If this button is toggled on, you can defer the update of block parameters until you click Update All Parameters or toggle off this button. For more information, see Tune Parameters by Using Hold Updates and Update All Parameters. |
|
| Update all parameters on hardware. For more information, see Tune Parameters by Using Hold Updates and Update All Parameters. |
