Real-Time Testing with Simulink Real-Time and Speedgoat Hardware

This hands-on four half-day course focuses on real-time testing workflows, including rapid control prototyping (RCP) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, using Simulink Real-Time^™ software and Speedgoat real-time computers. Attendees will convert desktop-based simulation applications into real-time applications that run on the target machine and interface with physical hardware. Emphasis is placed on interacting with the application in real-time and analyzing the outputs for validation. This course is intended for intermediate to advanced Simulink^® users who are adopting real-time testing in their development process.
