xPC Target

Parameter Tuning

Most Simulink blocks have parameters that you can change before or while your target application is running. For example, parameters include the amplitude and frequency of a sine wave:

• Interactive -- xPC Target supports interactive tuning of parameters while the target application is running in real time. The changes to parameters are immediately reflected in the signal outputs.
• Scripts and batch procedures -- xPC Target also includes commands to change parameters during a run or between runs. By writing and running a script on the host PC that incrementally changes a parameter and monitors a signal output, you can optimize the value of that parameter.

For information on the various ways to tune parameters with xPC Target, see User Interaction and Parameter Tuning.
