The typical procedure is shown below, though the steps can be performed in a different order. Step Description 1. Create project and application n Whole real-time applications can be managed in ConfigurationDesk. This includes not only the associated ConfigurationDesk application data, but also general files such as project plans and specifications. 2. Define external devices n It takes just a few clicks to define the interfaces and signal properties of external devices such as ECUs and loads in ConfigurationDesk. 3. Select and configure I/O functions n I/O ports can be connected to the external devices graphically. You can define different views to focus on specific data sets. I/O functions automatically fetch failure simulation settings and load settings from the definitions of external devices. 4. Create model ports n The behavior model and ConfigurationDesk applications are connected via model port blocks. ® ® 5. Design the Simulink model n The model port blocks generated by ConfigurationDesk can be integrated into the MATLAB /Simulink model to implement the inputs and outputs between the model and the hardware. You can also use Simulink inputs and outputs in the model instead (only at the topmost model level, not inside subsystems). 6. Assign hardware resources n With ConfigurationDesk, the hardware resources (such as channels on the DS2601 Signal Measurement Board or the DS2621 Signal Generation Board) can be quickly assigned to the I/O functions. 7. Run the build process for the application n You can run the entire build process with ConfigurationDesk, both for the I/O functions and for and create the application for the dSPACE the behavior model. hardware 8. Download the application to the n The real-time application can be transferred to the dSPACE hardware quickly. dSPACE hardware 34 2013 Implementation Software / ConfigurationDesk Failure Simulation License To use failure simulation with SCALEXIO, you have to For further information on failure simulation with activate it with an additional FIU license.
