This capability enables all features that allow the user to manage consoles and make some changes to the parameters and aliases of the models. It enables all components making data acquisition and monitoring and also basic operations on the simulator as loading, executing, pausing or resetting the models. (default value=false)

This capability enables all features related to the development of models, scripts, and codes. It also enables all features of the operator capabilities. (default value=false)

This capability enables all product components including operator and developer capabilities. Moreover, it also enables other unclassified features related to Eclipse and external plugins. (default value=false)

Enables the user to restore the defaults value of the parameters.

Names of source files to be compiled in addition to the code generated by RTW. Used to incorporate user-written code into the model executable (e.g. file1.c file2.c file3.c)

Target path(s) where user include files can be found. Used to search for include files required to compile user-written code, when the include files do not reside in already-searched paths.

Names of user-specified libraries to be used when incorporating user-written code, in addition to the standard system libraries (MATLAB and RT-LAB).

Target path(s) where user libraries can be found. Used to search for libraries other than the MATLAB and RT-LAB libraries when incorporating user-written code.

User command to be called on the target during the compilation process.

Enables or disables the monitoring during the execution of the model. (default value=true)

Displays RT-LAB Controller application in the taskbar. Unchecked by default. (default value=false)

When checked, a warning message is displayed when the disk space is lower than the value specified. (default value=false)

Represents the amount of information that is displayed in the display window during load and execution. Setting the value from MINIMAL to EXHAUSTIVE allows the user to retrieve more information about communication and I/Os initialization for example. This can be used to debug unexpected model behaviors. (default value=minimal)

Defines the precision of the timer reporting the time required to perform one calculation step in microseconds. The default value is 0 (no printout). Value=1 prints the step size of the model every 1,000,000 steps with a precision of 1 μs. Value=100 prints the model’s step size every 10,000 steps with a precision of 100 μs and so on. (default value=0)

Creates a file called Controller.log in the RTLAB_ROOT\common\bin folder for debugging use. This file reports all operations perform on the model during the life-cycle of your project. Note also that it reports also other internal operation related to the controller of your project. Unchecked by default. (default value=false)

All timeouts are extended when this option is enabled. It is typically used when debugging the model. (default value=false)

Enables or disables the Watchdog functionality. The Watchdog ensures that all nodes are running normally. There are as many watchdogs as there as computation subsystems in the model. At regular user-defined time intervals, the watchdog verifies that the model is still running and that processes are still active. If an error occurs, the watchdog stops the simulation. This option is not available on Windows target.(default value=true)

The regular user-defined time interval the watchdog verifies the model is still running. 5000 ms by default. (default value=5000)

When this option is enabled, the compiler's optimization options are removed and replaced by debug options during model compilation. This option is useful when debugging a model. (default value=false)

Name of the user variable.

Value of the user variable.

Description of the user variable.

Directory where the files retrieved by RT-LAB after the model execution is copied.

When this option is enabled, RT-LAB retrieves files generated by the model simulation on the target nodes and transfers them to the host computer. (default value=true)

If this option is enabled, RT-LAB retrieves the files
generated by the model simulation as soon as they are created on the target. If this option is disabled,
RT-LAB will retrieve those files after the model resets.

Specifies if intermediate folders are generated or not in the retrieved directory. (default value=true)

Displays a pop-up notification each time a file is retrieved:

Open

Clicking on the notification opens the file with an appropriate editor or with Matlab, depending on the file extension.

Prevents RT-LAB from displaying notifications when files are retrieved after a model has been reset. This is useful when many files are retrieved, since there is one notification per file.

(Only applies to models ran in hardware/software synchronized modes.) When this parameter is not checked, RT-LAB does not detect overruns.

When this parameter is checked, RT-LAB detects overruns and performs the action specified in the Action to perform on overruns field. This property has no effect in simulation mode. (default value=true)

Performs the action specified in the Action to perform on overruns field when the number of overruns detected by RT-LAB reaches this number. (Only applies when Action to perform on overruns is set to Reset or Pause.)

Default value=10

Type of action to perform when overruns are detected.

Default value=Continue

Here are the available types:

Allows the user to choose the target platform on which to run the simulation (OPAL-RTLinux (x86-based) or Windows system). Default value=OPAL-RTLinux x86-based.

Enables the user to define how the model’s simulation can be executed on an OPAL-RTLinux (x86-based) or Windows system. Default value=Software synchronized.

In this mode, the model is not synchronized; the model starts a new computation step as soon as the previous one is completed (the model runs as fast as possible).

this simulation mode can be used to run a simulation in the background while working with other applications on the same computer.

In this mode, real-time synchronization of the entire simulation is achieved by the OS, using the CPU clock as a reference. Depending on the resolution available on the OS, some sampling times may not be obtained using this mode.

In this mode, an I/O board clock is used to synchronize the entire simulation.

Sets the target cluster’s communication medium. Default value=UDP/IP.

Here are the available choices for each target platform.

• Windows: UDP/IP.

• OPAL-RTLinux (x86-based): UDP/IP or Dolphin.

This value, when multiplied by the model’s basic calculation step (or fixed step size), supplies the final calculation step for the system. The time factor can only be changed when the simulation execution is paused and is only available in Synchronized (hardware/software) mode.
(default value=1.0)

This value (in seconds) specifies when the model will stop. If the value is Infinity, the model executes forever. You don’t need to recompile the model to apply a new value. (default value=Infinity)

This value (in seconds) specifies when the model will pause. If the value is Infinity, the model executes until a reset is done except if a stop time is specified. (default value=Infinity)

When the option is checked and the model is loaded, RT-LAB stops loading and generates an error, if some I/O boards required by the model are not detected on the target(s).

RT-LAB generates only a warning if this setting is unchecked. Note that only a few I/O boards (mainly the Opal-RT TestDrive boards) support this option. Most I/O blocks force a reset of the model if the boards are not detected at load time. Default value=true.

When option is enabled, if some bitstreams required by a model are not present in the model directory, RT-LAB stops the compilation and generates an error.

RT-LAB generates only a warning if this setting is disabled. Default value=false.

Matlab command to execute before opening the model. For example. MyInitFile.m, where MyInitFile includes commands that initialize model variables.

Matlab command to execute after opening the model. For example, MyInitFile.m, where MyInitFile includes commands that initialize model variables. 

Enables the console to be automatically opened and closed, when a model is Loaded or Reset. The console starts automatically at the first model’s execution. Default
value=false.

Use same Matlab version as model to open and compile Simulink mode. If Matlab version of model is not supported or not installed, use Current Matlab version. Default value=unchecked.

Note: In an opened project, if a model is saved in a new Matlab version, the new Matlab version will be used next time your project is opened.

Matlab version used to open and compile Simulink models. Note: this setting will be changed if the user opens the model by choosing Edit with and a new Matlab version. Default value is the latest installed, compatible version

Path to be used instead of /usr/matlab to find the MATLAB include and source files. RT-LAB supports multiple versions of Matlab by keeping copies of previous versions in paths other than /usr/matlab. Automatic setting means the target path is
automatically set based on the MATLAB version used on the Command Station. (default value=automatic)

Specifies which template makefile to use during the compilation. When Automatic is selected, the template makefile corresponding to MATLAB version is automatically selected. This option is available for SIMULINK models only. (default value=automatic)

Specifies which TLC file to use during the compilation. When Automatic is selected, the TLC file corresponding to the MATLAB version is automatically selected. This option is available for SIMULINK models only. (default value=automatic)

Identifies the target node where the compilation is done. Target nodes must be defined in the workbench, by using the New Target wizard, before the development node can be chosen. 

Path to find the RT-LAB executables include files and libraries or the target nodes. This allows previous versions of RT-LAB to be used side-by-side with newer versions.
The set-up script makes the last version installed the default system but, this option can be used to specify a version based on its path.

Automatic setting means the target path is automatically set based on the last installed RT-LAB version. (default value=Automatic)

Uncheck this option to completely disable automatic target detection. Target detection can still be manually done by right-clicking on the Targets item of the Project Explorer and selecting the Discover targets menu.

Displays a popup notification each time a target is detected:

Open

Clicking on the notification opens the Detected Targets Wizard. Automatically add new targets to the workbench: New targets are added to the workbench as soon as they are detected.

If you do not want to be notified when a particular target is connected to the network, simply add its IP address to this table. This table is also automatically populated by the Detected Targets Wizard.

Here you can limit the target detection to some IP addresses by defining ranges. Any target outside these ranges will not be detected by RT-LAB.
Note: Ignored targets and targets outside the detection range can still be used in the Workbench, but you will have to add them manually by using the New Target wizard.

Replaces the original caret (the marker that indicates where the next character will appear) with a custom caret and shows a different caret for Overwrite and Insert modes. 

Replaces the original caret with a more visible, thicker caret.

Quick Diff shows the changes in a vertical ruler using colors. Color-blind persons can enable this option to show differences with different characters in the line number ruler.

The selected annotation type is shown in the text. The corresponding text is underlined with squiggles or highlighted.

The overview ruler on the right side of the text editor is shown.

The selected annotation type is shown in the vertical ruler.

The color for the selected annotation type.

This option controls whether a structure compare is automatically performed whenever a content compare is done. Turn this option off if you don't want to see the structural differences.

If on, structure compare is displayed in the Outline view whenever it is possible.

If on, additional information about a change is shown in the status line. Turn this option on if you are interested in additional information about a change.

Controls whether or not whitespace change are shown in the compare viewer. Turn this option on if you want to see changes in whitespace.

Controls whether any unsaved changes are automatically saved before a patch is applied. Turn this option on if you want to save changes automatically.

The two comparison viewers will lock scroll along with one another in order to keep identical and corresponding portions of the code in each pane side-by-side. Turn this option off if you do not want the compare viewers to lock scroll.

Sometimes you want to compare two versions of a resource with the previous version from which they were both derived. This is called their common ancestor, and it appears in its own comparison pane during a three-way compare. Turn this option on if you want the ancestor pane to always appear at the start of a comparison.

Displays pseudo conflicts, which occur when two developers make the same change (for example, both add or remove the exact same line of code or comment). Turn this option on if you want pseudo conflicts to appear in compare browsers.

Controls whether differing ranges are visually connected by a single line or a range delimited by two lines.

Controls whether the individual changes inside conflicts are highlighted.

Use this option to configure what occurs when the end/beginning is reached while navigating an element.

If this option is on and you selected to compare a single element you will be asked whether you want to go to the beginning/end of the element after the end/beginning is reached. If you are comparing two or more elements you will be asked whether you want to go to the beginning/end of the current element or to go to the next/previous element. Moreover, if you choose to remember your decision, this option will be changed to one of the below respectively.

When this option is on, the selection will be moved back to the beginning/end after you reach the end/beginning of an element.

If you are comparing two or more elements and this option is on after you reach the end/beginning of an element the next/previous element will be opened.
