Real-Time Windows Target

Running the Model rtvdp.mdl

The model rtvdp.mdl does not have any I/O blocks so that you can run this model regardless of the I/O boards in your computer. Running this model will test the installation by running Real-Time Workshop, your third-party C compiler, Real-Time Windows Target, and the Real-Time Windows Target kernel.

After you have installed the Real-Time Windows Target kernel, you can test the entire installation by building and running a real-time application. Real-Time Windows Target includes the model rtvdp.mdl which already has the correct Real-Time Workshop options selected for you:

1. In the MATLAB command window, type

rtvdp

The Simulink model rtvdp.mdl window opens.

2. From the Tools menu, point to Real-Time Workshop, and then click Build Model.

The MATLAB command window displays the following messages.

### Starting Real-Time Workshop build for model: rtvdp
### Invoking Target Language Compiler on rtvdp.rtw
. . .
### Compiling rtvdp.c 
. . .
### Created Real-Time Windows Target module rtvdp.rwd. 
### Successful completion of Real-Time Workshop build procedure 
for model: rtvdp

3. From the Simulation menu, click External, and then click Connect to target.

The MATLAB command window displays the following message.

Model rtvdp loaded

4. From Simulation menu, click Start real-time code.

The Scope window displays the output signals. If your Scope window looks like the figure shown below, then you have successfully installed Real-Time Windows Target and have run a real-time application.

5. From Simulation menu, click Stop real-time code.

The real-time application stops running, and the Scope window stops displaying the output signals.
