Software Toolkit Adapts DAQ for Linux Version of Simulink

By DE Editors

PowerDAQ-for-Simulink Toolkit from United Electronic Industries(UEI, Canton, MA) means the company’s PCI/PXI data-acquisition cardscan now support Simulink programming tools for hardware-in-the-loop(HIL) and rapid-prototyping applications from The Mathworks(Natick, MA). The toolkit enables any Simulink model to be downloadedto a Linux-based target PC and enables the model to run with UEI’s I/Oboards.

Engineers can configure and use UEI’s hardware within a Simulink model,generate C source code using the Mathworks’ RealTime Workshop, andcompile and run the entire model on a dedicated Linux machine. Thetoolkit supports running Simulink models on standard Linux targets andon Linux targets enhanced with FSMLabs’ (Socorro, NM) RTLinuxPro 2.2 hard-real-time extensions.

UEI has more than 50 PowerDAQ PCI/PXI products ranging fromanalog-input, simultaneous-sampling analog-input, analog-output(+/-100V), digital I/O (TTL and industrial), and counter-timer boards.For more information and the free download, visit ueidaq.com.
