Real-Time Workshop 4.0 Release Notes
S-Function Target Enhancements
S-function target enhancements include:
• The S-function target now supports variable-step solvers.
• The S-function target now supports tunable parameters.
• The new Generate S-function feature lets you automatically generate an
S-function from a subsystem.
The S-function target is now documented the Real-Time Workshop User’s
Guide. See the chapter “The S-Function Target” for a full description of
S-function target features.
External Mode Enhancements
Several new features have been added to external mode:
• The default operation of the External Signal & Triggering dialog box has
been changed to make monitoring the target program simpler. See “External
Signal & Triggering Dialog Box” in the Real-Time Workshop User’s Guide for
details.
• Signal Viewing Subsystems have been implemented to let you encapsulate
processing and viewing of signals received from the target system. Signal
Viewing Subsystems run only on the host, generating no code in the target
system. This is useful in situations where you want to process or condition
signals before viewing or logging them, but you do not want to perform these
tasks on the target system. See “Signal Viewing Subsystems” in the
Real-Time Workshop User’s Guide for details.
• Previously, only Scope blocks could be used in external mode to receive and
view signals uploaded from the target program. The following now support
external mode:
- Dials & Gauges Blockset
- Display blocks
- To Workspace blocks
- Signal Viewing Subsystems
- S-functions
See “External Mode Compatible Blocks and Subsystems” in the Real-Time
Workshop User’s Guide for details.
