Using Blocksets and Toolboxes

Keywords

Simulink blocksets; MATLAB toolboxes; Simulink Coder ; Real-Time Workshop

Question
I want to use Simulink blocksets or MATLAB toolboxes in my real-time simulation. How can I find out
which blocksets and toolboxes are supported by the Real-Time Interface (RTI) and
ConfigurationDesk?
Relevant Products
Real-Time Interface (RTI) and ConfigurationDesk
Solution
Refer to the following pages:

General information on the compatibility to the blocksets and toolboxes from The MathWorks
is available at http://www.dspace.com/go/blocksets or http://www.dspace.com/go/toolboxes
(identical links)

If you are looking for information about Simulink blocksets or MATLAB toolboxes not listed
under http://www.dspace.com/go/blocksets, please check the Simulink Coder documentation
(formerly Real-Time Workshop documentation) of your active MATLAB Installation whether
the Simulink blocksets or MATLAB toolboxes are generally supported by the Simulink Coder
(formerly Real-Time Workshop):

If the Simulink blocksets or MATLAB toolboxes are supported by the Simulink Coder (formerly
Real-Time Workshop) but no compatibility information can be found at
http://www.dspace.com/go/blocksets the compatibility with RTI or ConfigurationDesk cannot
be guaranteed.

For the listed blocksets and toolboxes from The MathWorks, which are listed at
http://www.dspace.com/go/blocksets, the compatibility with RTI and ConfigurationDesk is
tested with selected demo models taken from the MATLAB installation and/or with test models
designed especially for this purpose. These tests naturally cannot cover the complete
functionality range of the blocksets. Although most possibilities are taken into account, the
complexity resulting from the number of Simulink blocks and their possible parameterizations
is far too large to guarantee tests with 100% coverage.
