• : Supported.

• : Not supported.

• : Partial support (read notes below table).

MATLAB Compatibility

Required Elements:

• MATLAB: Underlying mathematical engine

• Simulink: Graphical design environment

• Simulink Coder (formerly known as Real-Time Workshop): Code generator

Concerning the OPAL-RT policy regarding the support of MATLAB/Simulink versions, please refer to opal-rt.com/policy-rtlab/.

(1) Only R2018B is supported

(2) Only R2019B is supported

National Instruments LabVIEW Compatibility

LabVIEW is not required for RT-LAB to work. However, RT-LAB’s API for LabVIEW can be used to create custom user applications.

National Instruments TestStand Compatibility

TestStand is not required for RT-LAB to work. However, it can be used to create custom test sequences for various quality assurance duties.

For more information on the compatibility between RT-LAB and TestStand, contact https://www.opal-rt.com/support-home/

Python compatibility

• Python is required on the Windows command station and the target nodes for some RT-LAB functionalities.

• By default, the command station uses its own Python 3.9 distribution.

RT-LAB Versions vs. ARTEMIS/RT-EVENTS Versions

RT-EVENTS is a block set of Simulink developed by OPAL-RT. It may be used in real-time when compiled with RT-LAB. Here is a compatibility table with RT-LAB, but it is always recommended to use the RT-EVENTS version that is packaged with RT-LAB on the website download or on the installation disk.

RT-LAB Versions vs. MMC Versions

RT-LAB Versions vs. eHS Versions

(1) Only versions 2024.1.0, 2024.1.1 and 2024.1.2 are compatible with 2.16 version

TestDrive Software Compatibility

TestDrive is software developed by OPAL-RT that allows the user to replace the Simulink console by a LabVIEW panel. Starting from RT-LAB 2021.1, RT-LAB versions are compatible with TestDrive v2.9.

RT-XSG Compatibility

The integration of RT-LAB with the Xilinx System Generator toolbox is provided by the OPAL-RT RT-XSG product. Compatibility of RT-XSG with MATLAB and Xilinx System Generator versions can be found in RT-XSG user manual at this page Software Requirements and Compatibility Charts.

RT-LAB is compatible with all versions of RT-XSG between RT-XSG 2.0 and RT-XSG 3.3.x. Note that RT-XSG 3.3.4+ is only compatible with RT-LAB 2023.1+. RT-XSG users should refer to the OPAL-RT RT-XSG Toolbox User Guide in order to validate compatibility between the FPGA boards in OPAL-RT chassis, Xilinx ISE Design Suite (including System Generator for DSP), and MATLAB.
