Introducing the Fixed-Point Converter App for MATLAB

In release R2014b, Fixed-Point Designer will add the Fixed-Point Converter app for automated conversion of floating-point MATLAB code.

How this benefits you:
The Fixed-Point Converter app enables you to convert floating-point MATLAB® code to fixed-point MATLAB code. You can choose to propose data types based on simulation range data, static range data, or both.

Highlights of the webinar include:

• Automated fixed-point conversion of MATLAB code using the Fixed-Point Converter App
• Fixed-point data type proposals based on fraction lengths or word lengths
• Fixed-point data type proposals based on simulation range data, static range data, or both
• Test numerics by running the test file with the fixed-point types applied
• Comparing floating-point and fixed-point test results using the Simulation Data Inspector or your own plotting functions
• Viewing a histogram of bits used by each variable
