Using This Guide

To help you effectively read and use this guide, we have provided a brief description of the chapters and a suggested reading path.

This section includes the following topics:

• Expected Background
• Organization

Expected Background

To benefit from reading this book, you should be familiar with

• Using Simulink and Stateflow to create models as block diagrams, and simulating those models in Simulink
• The concepts and use of Real-Time Workshop to generate executable code

When using Real-Time Workshop and the Real-Time Windows Target, you do not need to program in C or other low-level programming languages to create and test real-time systems.

If You Are a New User -- Begin with Introduction. This chapter gives you an overview of the Real-Time Windows Target features and the development environment. Next, read and try the examples in Basic Procedures.

If You Are an Experienced Real-Time Windows Target User -- We suggest you review the sections on signal tracing and signal logging in Basic Procedures. After you are familiar with using the Real-Time Windows Target, read how to add I/O drivers to your Simulink model in Advanced Procedures.
