Definition
|
application
|
See real-time application.
|
build process
|
Process of generating C code from your Simulink model, compiling and inlining the generated code to create a real-time executable.
|
execution
|
Running the executable code on the target PC in real time.
|
executable code
|
See real-time application.
|
external mode
|
Simulink mode that uses a Simulink block diagram as a graphical user interface to a real-time executable. This interface provides parameter downloading and signal uploading for display using Scope blocks.
|
kernel
|
Software component that handles system interrupts and regulates time interrupts when model code is stepped.
|
parameter tuning
|
Process of changing block parameters and downloading the new values to a real-time executable while it is running.
|
real-time application
|
Code ready to run in real time with the kernel.
|
sample rate
|
Inverse of the sample time given as samples per second.
|
sample time
|
Length of time, in seconds, between each interrupt that the model is stepped.
|
self-targeting system
|
A system where both the development environment and real-time environment use the same processor.
|
signal logging
|
Acquire and save signal data created during a real-time execution.
|
signal tracing
|
Acquire and display of a sequence of bursts of signal data created during real-time execution. The burst length corresponds with the time axis at the Scope block.
