CrankCam-Editor

CrankCam-Editor

The CrankCam-Editor provides elements to generate different Crank- and Cam

signals according to the defined values in the provided GUI.

The HILTools and so the CrankCam-Editor are in a continuum of development and

will be adapted to following Matlab and dSPACE releases.
.
This and all other toolboxes of the dSPACE HILTools are solutions to help to
handle large Simulink models and HIL systems. The HILTools will not be
supported by the dSPACE general support. For questions or further informations
please contact the application engineer of your system.
