xPC Target

Interface with Dials & Gauges Blockset

Use the Dials & Gauges Blockset and xPC Target interface blocks to create a custom graphical user interface (GUI) for your xPC Target application. This method allows you to create a user interface (UI) within a Simulink model.

This section includes the following topics:

• Introduction to the Dials & Gauges Blockset -- What is the Dials & Gauges blockset?
• Target Application Model Description -- An example control system using a water tank, pump, drain, and valve controller
• Creating a Target Application Model -- A Simulink model for your physical system and controller. xPC Target uses this model to create a target application.
• Marking Block Parameters -- Parameters you want to change using dial blocks
• Marking Block Signals -- Signals you want to visualize using gauge blocks
• Creating a User Interface Model -- Create a Simulink user interface model as a graphical user interface (GUI) to a target application.
• Adding Dials & Gauges Blockset -- Dials for changing parameters and gauges for visualizing signals
• Creating a Target Application -- Create a real-time application from your Simulink application model using Real-Time Workshop and a C compiler.
• Running a Target Application with a User Interface Model -- Start the target application running in real time and the user interface model running in nonreal time.
