MathWorks Simulink Real-Time application simulation and testing

MathWorks has introduced Simulink Real-Time into the Simulink product family. Available with the company’s Release 2014a (R2014a), the product enables engineers to build, test and run real-time applications from Simulink models on dedicated target computer hardware connected to their physical systems, providing a complete end-to-end real-time simulation and testing solution.

Combining the functionality of xPC Target and xPC Target Embedded Option, the system supports real-time simulation and testing including rapid control prototyping, DSP, vision system prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. Engineers can extend their Simulink models with driver blocks, automatically generate real-time applications, define instrumentation and perform interactive or automated runs on a dedicated target computer equipped with a real-time kernel, multicore CPU, I/O and protocol interfaces and FPGAs. The addition of a high-resolution real-time target display allows for a fully integrated user experience.
