Real-Time Windows Target

Running the Model rtvdp.mdl

The model rtvdp.mdl does not have any I/O blocks so that you can run this model regardless of the I/O boards in your computer. Running this model will test the installation by running Real-Time Workshop, your third-party C compiler, the Real-Time Windows Target, and the Real-Time Windows Target kernel.

After you have installed the Real-Time Windows Target kernel, you can test the entire installation by building and running a real-time application. The Real-Time Windows Target includes the model rtvdp.mdl, which already has the correct Real-Time Workshop options selected for you:

1. In the MATLAB command window, type

• rtvdp
  

1. The Simulink model rtvdp.mdl window opens.
   
   

2. From the Tools menu, point to Real-Time Workshop, and then click Build Model.

1. The MATLAB command window displays the following messages:

   • ### Starting Real-Time Workshop build for model: rtvdp
     ### Invoking Target Language Compiler on rtvdp.rtw
     . . .
     ### Compiling rtvdp.c 
     . . .
     ### Created Real-Time Windows Target module rtvdp.rwd. 
     ### Successful completion of Real-Time Workshop build procedure 
     for model: rtvdp
     

3. From the Simulation menu, click External, and then click Connect to target.

1. The MATLAB command window displays the following message:

   • Model rtvdp loaded
     

4. From Simulation menu, click Start real-time code.

1. The Scope window displays the output signals. If your Scope window looks like the figure shown below, then you have successfully installed the Real-Time Windows Target and have run a real-time application.
   
   

5. From Simulation menu, click Stop real-time code.

1. The real-time application stops running, and the Scope window stops displaying the output signals.
