Course
Highlights
This hands-on two-days course focuses on real-time testing workflows, including rapid control prototyping (RCP) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, using Simulink Real-Time™ software and Speedgoat real-time computers. Topics include:
- Workflow Overview
- Developing Real-Time Applications
- Building Interactive Interfaces
- Automating Real-Time Tests
- Using Communications Protocols
- Optimizing Plant Models for Real-Time Execution
- Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing
- Building hierarchy into a Simulink model
- Creating reusable model components using subsystems, libraries, and model references
Who Should
Attend
Intermediate to advanced Simulink® users who are adopting real-time testing in their development process.
Course
Prerequisites
Simulink Fundamentals (or Simulink Fundamentals for Automotive Applications or Simulink Fundamentals for Aerospace Applications). Knowledge of Simscape™ is preferred.
Course
Benefits
Upon the completion of the course, attendees will be able to convert desktop-based simulation applications into real-time applications that run on the target machine and interface with physical hardware. Emphasis is placed on interacting with the application in real-time and analyzing the outputs for validation.
