A real-time model of a water tank controlled by dashboard controls. You can change the inputs to the plant by using the dashboard knobs and observe the response on the gauges.

Trace signals by using SDI in Simulink external mode.

Produce an analog output signal by using Simulink Desktop Real-Time™. Because analog output can require less configuration and is easier to connect than analog input, this model is useful for working with data acquisition boards. You can verify the presence of the generated signal, for example by connecting an oscilloscope to the analog output pins of your data acquisition board.

Build a simple closed-loop real-time controller by using Simulink Desktop Real-Time™. The output of the controlled plant is connected to the analog input of your data acquisition board. This signal is subtracted from the set point value generated by the signal generator and processed by a PID controller. The output of the controller drives the input of the plant by using the analog output of your data acquisition board.

A real-time filter built using DSP System Toolbox™ and Simulink Desktop Real-Time™. The unfiltered signal is acquired by the analog input, passed through a filter designed by DSP System Toolbox and finally sent to analog output. Both the unfiltered and filtered signals are shown in real-time using the Scope block.
