Version 3. 4 (R2009b) Real-Time Windows Target Software . [. . . ] For example, you can use this driver to import arbitrarily formatted data from a file without recompiling the model. In previous releases, importing such data with the From Workspace block required model recompilation. New PWM Frequency and Duty Measurement Demo The Real-Time Windows Target software now includes a demo that shows how to measure pulse width measurement (PWM) signal frequency and duty. See the PWM Frequency and Duty Measurement demo. 5 Real-Time Windows TargetTM Release Notes Support for Pulse Width Measurement with Counter Input Block The Real-Time Windows Target software now supports pulse width measurements. The Counter Input block has the following new options to support this ability: · Clock input source - internal clock · Gate input functionality enable when high, latch & reset on edge enable when low, latch & reset on edge The National Instruments PCI/PXI-60xx and National Instruments PCI/PXI-62xx drivers have been enhanced to work with this block for pulse width measurement. Open Watcom Upgrade to 1. 8 The Real-Time Windows Target software now uses Version 1. 8 of the Open Watcom C/C++ Compiler. 6 Version 3. 3 (R2009a) Real-Time Windows TargetTM Software Version 3. 3 (R2009a) Real-Time Windows Target Software This table summarizes what's new and changed in Version 3. 3 (R2009a). New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site No · "Support for Vector CAN Boards " on page 7 · "Support for Counter and Encoder Blocks for National Instruments Boards " on page 7 Support for Vector CAN Boards The Real-Time Windows Target product now supports Vector Informatik CAN devices supported by the Vector XL driver library, including CANcardX, CANcardXL, CANboardXL, and CANboardXL pxi. Support for Counter and Encoder Blocks for National Instruments Boards Counter and encoder support have been added for the following National Instruments boards: · National Instruments boards: - PCI-6220 PCI-6221 PCI-6221 37-pin PCI-6224 PCI-6225 PCI-6229 PCI-6250 7 Real-Time Windows TargetTM Release Notes - PCI-6251 PCI-6254 PCI-6259 PCI-6280 PCI-6281 PCI-6284 PCI-6289 PCIe-6251 PCIe-6259 PXI-6220 PXI-6221 PXI-6224 PXI-6225 PXI-6229 PXI-6250 PXI-6251 PXI-6254 PXI-6259 PXI-6280 PXI-6281 PXI-6284 PXI-6289 8 Version 3. 2 (R2008b) Real-Time Windows TargetTM Software Version 3. 2 (R2008b) Real-Time Windows Target Software This table summarizes what's new and changed in Version 3. 2 (R2008b). New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site No New features and changes introduced in this version are: Support for Model Referencing The Real-Time Windows Target product now supports model referencing. This feature provides quick access to a detailed description of the parameters, saving you the time it would take to find the information in the Help browser. To use the "What's This?" help, do the following: 1 Place your cursor over the label of a parameter. context menu appears. For example, the following figure shows the What's This?context menu appearing after a right-click on the Start time parameter in the Solver pane. 11 Real-Time Windows TargetTM Release Notes 3 Click What's This?A context-sensitive help window appears showing a description of the parameter. 12 Version 3. 0 (R2007b) Real-Time Windows TargetTM Software Version 3. 0 (R2007b) Real-Time Windows Target Software This table summarizes what's new and changed in Version 3. 0 (R2007b): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site No New Features and Changes I/O Blocks Support Non-Double Data Types to Conform to Simulink Software Previously, all Real-Time Windows Target data input and output was of type double. Input blocks could produce only double data, and Output blocks could accept only double data. In R2007b, every Input and Output block supports all Simulink datatypes. See "Blocks -- Alphabetical List" for details about each block. New Blocks and Drivers Provide Serial Port and UDP Support Four new blocks, Packet Input, Packet Output, Stream Input, and Stream Output provide serial port and UDP support. For serial port support, use the blocks with the new driver Standard Devices > Serial Port. For UDP support, use the blocks with the new driver Standard Devices > UDP Protocol. See the documentation of the new blocks in "Blocks -- Alphabetical List". New Frequency Output Block Is Available A Frequency Output block is available in the Real-Time Windows Target library. The block generates a pulse-width-modulated square wave that alternates between low (0) and high (1) with a specified frequency and duty cycle. For details, see the Frequency Output block documentation. 13 Real-Time Windows TargetTM Release Notes New Counter Input Block Demo The Real-Time Windows Target software now includes a demo that shows the operation of the Counter Input block. To see this demo, type rtcounter in the Matlab Command Window, or launch MATLAB Online Help and choose Real-Time Windows Target > Demos > Real-Time Counter. Open Watcom Version 1. 6 Is the Standard Bundled Compiler The Real-Time Windows Target software now uses Version 1. 6 of the Open Watcom C/C++ Compiler. The Open Watcom source code is available under the terms of the Open Watcom License. For more information, visit http://www. openwatcom. org. Link and Target Products Regrouped in New Start, Help, and Demos Category A new product category, Links and Targets, now contains all MathWorks software products that link, target, or cosimulate code. Compatibility Considerations This change impacts you in the following ways: · Finding and viewing these products through the MATLAB Desktop Start button and in the Help browser Contents and Demos panes. [. . . ] You now enter specific board information in the individual driver blocks. After entering information in the first block, you can select your board from a pull-down list in subsequent blocks. Replace I/O Driver Blocks in Your Simulink Model Real-Time Windows Target software Versions 1. 0 and 1. 5 had only two driver blocks: RT Input and RT Output. In Real-Time Windows Target software Version 2. 0, the drivers are divided into Analog Input (A/D), Analog Output (D/A), Digital Input, Digital Output, and others. Remove all Real-Time Windows Target software Version 1. 0 and 1. 5 blocks from your Simulink model and replace them with Version 2. 0 blocks. [. . . ]
