xPC Software

 

Host Software

Spindle has been set up as the host PC.

The host PC requires the following software:

  • Matlab 6.0 (R12)
    • Simulink 4.0 (R12)
    • Real-Time Workshop Toolbox 4.0 (R12)
    • xPC Toolbox
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0 or WATCOM 10.6 or 11 C++ compiler
    • The WATCOM compiler is the only one that will handle large programs.
  • xPC only runs under Windows

Refer to the Mathworks online xPC documentation for installation details.

 

License Notes:

1) We purchased a license through Katy Butler, the McGill Sitel rep. Then we used the generic Matlab PLP, supplied to us from Katy, every year to install xPC.

 

Target Software

The target PC only needs a boot disk that can be created by the host (see xpcsetup).

Renshaw has been set up as the dedicated xPC target.
