Simulink Coder Generate C and C++ code from Simulink and Stateflow models Simulink Coder™ (formerly Real-Time Workshop ) generates and executes C and C++ code from Simulink diagrams, Stateflow® charts, and MATLAB® functions. The generated source code can be used for real-time and nonreal-time applications, including simulation acceleration, rapid prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. You can tune and monitor the generated code using Simulink or run and interact with the code outside MATLAB ■ ANSI/ISO C and C++ code and executables for discrete, continuous, or hybrid Simulink and Stateflow ■ Incremental code generation for large models ■ Integer, floating-point, and fixed-point data type support ■ Code generation for single-rate, multirate, and asynchronous models ■ Single-task, multitask, and multicore code execution with or without an RTOS ■ External mode simulation for parameter tuning and signal monitoring File Edit View Simulation Format Tools Help pdotiqdot; rdor^ Selecting and Working with Targets The Simulink Model Explorer provides a single user interface in Simulink to configure all code generation settings. From the Model Explorer you can: Accelerating the pace of engineering and science

■ Select a code generation target ■ Configure the target for code generation ■ Generate code for models or subsystems The Code Generation Advisor checks your model and code generation settings, and then offers advice on how to improve your configuration based on your needs. Once you have identified the optimal settings for your project, you can save them as a configuration set to reuse with other models.

Executing Code in a Real-Time Environment Simulink Coder provides a complete framework for executing the generated code in real time and incorporating it into your execution environment. It generates single-rate or multirate code based on the periodic sample times you specify in the model. Execution Modes Code can be deployed with or without an RTOS, and in single-tasking, multitasking, or asynchronous mode. Single-Tasking Mode In single-tasking mode, a simple scheduler invokes the generated code in a single thread of execution, preventing preemption between rates. Multitasking Mode In...

Tuning Parameters and Logging Data Simulink Coder helps you optimize your algorithm’s performance and improve code execution behavior by enabling you to interact with and analyze the generated executable. Simulink Coder lets you monitor and tune block signals and parameters using the following data interfaces: Target-based C API — Enables user-written code to access block outputs and parameters outside MATLAB and Simulink Host-based ASAP2 data exchange file — Lets you use the ASAP2 standard data description for data measurement, calibration, and diagnostic systems outside MATLAB and...
