Related Products

The MathWorks provides several products that are especially relevant to the kinds of tasks you can perform with the Real-Time Workshop^®. They are listed in the table below.

The Real-Time Workshop requires these products:

• MATLAB^® 6.0 (Release 12)
• Simulink^® 4.0 (Release 12)
• A supported compiler (See Supported Compilers and Third-Party Compiler Installation on Windows)

For more information about any of these products, see either:

• The online documentation for that product, if it is installed or if you are reading the documentation from the CD
• The MathWorks Web site, at http://www.mathworks.com; see the "products" section

Note    The toolboxes listed below all include functions that extend MATLAB's capabilities. The blocksets listed below all include blocks that extend Simulink's capabilities.

Product	Description
Communications Blockset	Simulink block libraries for modeling the physical layer of communications systems
Control System Toolbox	Tool for modeling, analyzing, and designing control systems using classical and modern techniques
Dials & Gauges Blockset	Graphical instrumentation for monitoring and controlling signals and parameters in Simulink models
DSP Blockset	Simulink block libraries for the design, simulation, and prototyping of digital signal processing systems
Fixed-Point Blockset	Simulink blocks that model, simulate, and automatically generate pure integer code for fixed-point applications
Fuzzy Logic Toolbox	Tool to help master fuzzy logic techniques and their application to practical control problems
Nonlinear Control Design (NCD) Blockset	Simulink block libraries that provide a time-domain-based optimization approach to system design; automatically tunes parameters based on user-defined time-domain performance constraints
Power System Blockset	Simulink block libraries for the design, simulation, and prototyping of electrical power systems
Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder	Tool that allows you to automatically generate Ada 95 code. It produces the code directly from Simulink models and automatically builds programs that can be run in real time in a variety of environments.
Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder	Tool that allows you to automatically generate production-quality C code from Simulink models. Supports software-in-the-loop validation of generated code in Simulink.
Real-Time Windows Target	Tool that allows you to run Simulink models interactively and in real time on your PC under Windows
Simulink	Interactive, graphical environment for modeling, simulating, and prototyping dynamic systems
Stateflow®	Tool for graphical modeling and simulation of complex control logic
Stateflow Coder	Tool for generating highly readable, efficient C code from Stateflow diagrams
xPC Target	Tool that supports many I/O blocks for Simulink block diagrams. Supports downloading code generated by Real-Time Workshop to a second PC that runs the xPC Target real-time kernel, for rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing of control and DSP systems.
xPC Target Embedded Option	Add-on to xPC Target to deploy the xPC Target operating system, together with embedded code, to external PCs
