Getting Started with Simulink Desktop Real-Time

Simulink^® Desktop Real-Time™ provides a real-time kernel for executing Simulink models on a Windows^® or Mac laptop or desktop. It includes library blocks that connect to a range of I/O devices. You can create and tune a real-time system for rapid prototyping or hardware-in-the-loop simulation with your computer.

Simulink Desktop Real-Time supports real-time performance up to a 1 kHz sample rate with Simulink, and up to 20 kHz with Simulink Coder™.

Tutorials

• Create a Real-Time Application
  

  Configure a Simulink model as a real-time application, generate code, and run the application in real time.

Apply Simulink Desktop Real-Time Model Templates to Create Real-Time Models

Starting from the model template for Simulink Desktop Real-Time™ provides a new model that has configuration parameters set up for building a real-time application. This example shows how to use the Simulink Desktop Real-Time template for a new Simulink model that is configured for normal mode or external mode.
