Get Started with Simulink Desktop Real-Time

Simulink^® Desktop Real-Time™ provides a real-time kernel for Windows^®, Linux^®, and macOS. It includes drag-and-drop Simulink I/O driver blocks that enable closed-loop control of physical systems from your desktop computer. The toolbox lets you connect to sensors, actuators, and other devices to prototype and test control systems without requiring dedicated real-time test equipment.

Simulink Desktop Real-Time supports I/O devices such as DAQ boards, CAN devices, and USB webcams.
