xPC Target

Simulink External Mode Interface

Use Simulink in external mode to connect your Simulink block diagram to your target application. The block diagram becomes a graphical user interface to the target application running in real time. By changing parameters in the Simulink blocks, you also change parameters in the target application.

The Simulink external mode interface includes the following functions:

• Control -- Control is limited to connecting the Simulink block diagram to the target application, and starting and stopping the target application.

• For more information, see Control with Simulink External Mode.

• Parameter tuning -- Select external mode, and change parameters in the target application by changing parameters in the Block Parameters dialog boxes. Once you change a value, the new value is immediately downloaded to the target PC and replaces the existing parameter while the target application continues to run.

• For more information, see Parameter Tuning with Simulink External Mode.

Note    xPC Target does not support data acquisition through Simulink external mode. Instead, use xPC Target Scope blocks or signal acquisition. See Simulink with xPC Target Scope Blocks.
