Target Computer Setup

Target computer configuration with Simulink^® Real-Time™ Explorer or MATLAB^® language

To run a real-time application on a target computer, first configure your target computer with the required I/O modules and Ethernet ports. Physically connect it to the development computer with a TCP/IP Ethernet link. Configure the Simulink Real-Time target settings with Simulink Real-Time Explorer or MATLAB language. Finally, build and download the real-time application to the target computer.

Topics

1. Target Computer Setup

Target Computer Settings
Configure the Simulink Real-Time environment as required by the target computer. Speedgoat^® target machines support PCI bus Ethernet cards.

2. Target Computer Boot Configuration

Real-Time Application and Target Computer Modes
Run real-time applications by using the target computer in connected mode, standalone mode, or external mode. Speedgoat target machines boot the QNX^® Neutrino^® RTOS and then you run real-time applications in the selected target computer mode.

3. Installation Test

Application and Driver Scripts
Examine models and scripts that illustrate Simulink Real-Time features.

Configuration and Control Alternatives

Configure and Control Target Computer

Configuring and controlling Simulink Real-Time interactively and by writing scripts and programs.
