Real-Time Simulation
The real-time simulation is one of the most challenging tasks. Yet it is incredibly easy with the
Real Time Toolbox: you just create a simulation diagram as you would normally do in Simulink, add one or more
real-time blocks from the Real Time Toolbox library and that's it!
Simulink real-time Block Library
Your data acquisition board is represented by an Adapter block, which allows modifying board configuration.
The inputs and outputs are represented by input and output blocks, and a different sampling period can be specified for each
I/O block. This enables creating multirate simulations, control loops and signal processing applications.
Such real-time simulation diagrams preserve most of the Simulink advantages, such as fully interactive work,
extreme ease of use and 100% compatibility with Stateflow and blocksets. Wide range of simple, buffered, frame-based and
triggered blocks with different I/O functionality offers the best solution for different applications. Depending on model
complexity usual applications are able to run at sampling rates between 100 Hz - 25 kHz and are suitable for most laboratory
experiments.
To achieve the best real-time performance model execution priority can be set using the new RT Simulink
Process control block.
Easy Access to Hardware
One of the most difficult tasks while getting a data acquisition experiment ready is to correctly set all the hardware options of
the data acquisition board. The Real Time Toolbox simplifies this as much as possible: the only thing you need to do is to
set the board parameters in the driver's GUI, and if you use your board with factory-default settings you don't need to change
anything at all.

Block GUI offers easy to use environment for setting I/O type, channels, ranges, engineering units and other parameters.
Frame based I/O blocks with direct connectivity to frame signal processing blocks are available for all
peripheral types including also counters, encoders and digital I/O. Channel assignment has been simplified and improved over
previous versions significantly. It is easy and self-explanatory with channels divided into groups and with independent channel
numbering for each board and peripheral type.
Data Acquisition Boards
A wide range of industry standard data acquisition boards and other peripherals is supported, including those
manufactured by Advantech, Analog Devices, Axiom, Data Translation, Humusoft, ICP DAS, Keithley MetraByte, Measurement Computing,
or National Instruments. Besides standard analog and digital I/O many specialized devices like a stepping motor controller,
quadrature encoders, counters, PWM, mouse or joystick are also supported. Multiple boards of the same or different type can
be used simultaneously to offer sufficient I/O even for complex industrial applications.
The Real Time Toolbox can optionally be delivered in bundle with Humusoft data acquisition hardware and drivers designed
to perform optimally in its environment.
One HUMUSOFT Data Acquisition Board can be purchased with 30% discount if ordered together with Real Time Toolbox.
