Figure 26: MATLAB platform configuration
Test execution configuration
In the test execution configuration for a Simulink model file has to be specified. This consists of
the system model and the TPT virtual machine. Please note that this model file doesn’t have to
be generated manually. The test-frame may be generated automatically (see section 0: Original
model settings).
A TPT I/O-file needs to be generated. This M-file consists of the port definition and other
variables of the Simulink environment needed for TPT. This m-file is generated automatically
from the channel declaration (cf. Section 2).
The step-size (1/sampling rate) of the TPT-block needs to be specified (see Figure 27).
The step size is only valid for the TPT-S-function in Simulink and has no influence on the Simulink solver.
The timeout specifies the maximum simulation time. The simulation terminates after the
timeout value if it has not already terminated.
The history size field defines the number of samples that are held in memory and can be
accessed during test execution.
The content of the “Model load script” is generated automatically but can also edit by the user.
This script is run in MATLAB when the model is opened. The user can add proprietary scripts
and MATLAB function calls if needed.
In the MATLAB communication settings the user can specify how often MATLAB is restarted
during test-execution. This might be useful to avoid memory errors. Also it can be specified if
MATLAB should be kept open after the last test has been executed.
