Get Started with Simulink Real-Time

Simulink^® Real-Time™ lets you create real-time applications from Simulink models and run them on Speedgoat target computer hardware connected to your physical system. It is designed for real-time simulation and testing tasks, including rapid control prototyping (RCP), DSP and vision system prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation.

With Simulink Real-Time you can extend your Simulink models with blocks from the Speedgoat I/O Blockset and automatically build real-time applications. Tests can be automated or run interactively on a Speedgoat target computer equipped with a real-time kernel, multicore CPUs, I/O and protocol interfaces, and FPGAs.

Simulink Real-Time and Speedgoat target computer hardware are designed to work together to create real-time systems for desktop, lab, and field environments. The software and hardware solution supports the latest versions of MATLAB^® and Simulink.
