xPC Target

GPIB I/O Support

xPC Target interfaces the target PC to a GPIB instrument bus using an external GPIB controller from National Instruments. This external controller is connected to the target PC with a serial cable. This chapter includes the following sections:

Introduction to GPIB Drivers	Description of hardware connections, Simulink blocks, and MATLAB message structures associated with the Simulink blocks.
Using GPIB Drivers	Procedures to add GPIB driver blocks to your Simulink model, and create the message structures associated with those blocks.
GPIB Simulink Block Reference	Description of block parameters for GPIB driver blocks.
GPIB MATLAB Structure Reference	Description of the fields in the message structures, shortcuts, and data types supported in the message fields.
