| The
xPC TargetBox™ from The MathWorks, Natick, MA, is an industrial
PC for use in performing real-time analysis, simulation, and testing
of control systems and digital signal processing (DSP) systems. The
box works with xPC Target software, a host-target environment that
lets users connect models created in other MathWorks design tools
– such as Simulink®, MATLAB®, and Real-Time Workshop®
- to physical systems, and execute them in real time.
Users can select from eight I/O options to suit
their requirements, including analog input, analog output, digital
input and output, counters and timers, CAN bus interface, pulse
width modulator output, and encoder input. The box holds up to three
boards, and all connections, cables, and screw terminal boards are
provided.
Also included is an external floppy drive, AC/DC
power supply for mobile applications, 128 MB RAM, and a choice of
three processors: a 266-MHz Pentium® II; a 400-MHz Pentium III;
and a 700-MHz Pentium III. A monitor, keyboard, and mouse can be
attached to the box to use it as a standalone PC.
