Upgrade for model-based control system design

A National Instruments product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team May 20, 2004

Matrixx 7.1 is the latest version of the industry-proven software suite for fast, cost-effective model-based design of dynamic control systems.

Matrixx 7.1 is the latest version of the industry-proven software suite for fast, cost-effective model-based design of dynamic control systems.

Matrixx 7.1 introduces better debugging, model management and automatic code generation to accelerate system development for aerospace and automotive design applications.

Engineers can now interactively debug, edit, save and run MathScript functions and commands with the new Xmath debugging window.

They can also reduce debugging time with a new variable watch window that records and stores variables during script development.

An enhanced SystemBuild catalogue browser displays Xmath partitions, user types, global variables and the hierarchical organisation of SuperBlocks within a framework to help engineers better manage their complex systems.

SystemBuild also provides a configuration management interface into commercial file and version control software.

Matrixx 7.1 also features AutoCode improvements, including reductions of up to 50 percent in fixed-point generated code footprint and an additional code generation template for targeting the VxWorks 5.4 real-time operating system.

Furthermore, engineers can now use Matrixx without a network connection.

With the upgraded licence management software included in Matrixx 7.1, engineers can obtain licences for portable computers from a licence server.

Matrixx has been used in the design of dynamic control systems for aerospace and automotive applications for more than 20 years and was acquired by National Instruments in 2003.

Engineers using previous versions of Matrixx can easily upgrade to Matrixx 7.1 and integrate the newest features into their current projects.
