dSPACE Real-Time Systems

This 2-day training introduces you to the main features of dSPACE prototyping systems and dSPACE Simulator single-processor systems. On the first day, the basics for working efficiently with dSPACE systems are laid. The second day focuses on advanced features.

Participants

• Engineers working with rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop simulation
• Engineers who are new to dSPACE or who plan to purchase a dSPACE system in the near future
• Experience with MATLAB^® and Simulink^® is beneficial

Goals

• Set up dSPACE hardware/software
• Implement I/O in Simulink
• Build real-time code with Real-Time Interface
