Real-Time Application Instruments

Graphical instruments for displaying signal values, setting parameter values

Interface with a real-time application running on a target computer by adding an instrument to the model. Connect parameters and signals to the instrument by using instrument objects. Run your real-time application in MATLAB^®. Use the instrument to control the parameters and view the signal outputs. See Add Instruments to Real-Time Application by Using Simulink Editor.
