MTest recognizesfixed-point data types used in the interface of the test object. You canalso specify additional signals in fixed-point data type notation to beused for the test interface.Formerly, you specified an evaluation configuration for each testexecution environment type (Simulink, MIL, SIL, PIL). You can nowspecify an evaluation configuration for the MTest test element. Eachchild element then uses this evaluation method. You can still specify anindividual evaluation method for each test execution environmenttype.TargetLink modules are now selectable as test objects in MTest. If aTargetLink module contains a TargetLink Function block <strong>and</strong> itsinterface has TargetLink inports <strong>and</strong> outports, the test results for themodel <strong>and</strong> the generated code will be comparable. If the interface ofthe TargetLink module does not have TargetLink inports <strong>and</strong> outports,MTest automatically inserts the required TargetLink ports in the testframe. To achieve comparable results in SIL <strong>and</strong> PIL mode as well, youmust configure the ports before starting a test.The <strong>dSPACE</strong> tool for updating AutomationDesk projects cannot beused for MTest projects.<strong>dSPACE</strong> Release <strong>New</strong> <strong>Features</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Migration</strong> November 2005 27▲■■■■■■■■■■■■
