Working Efficiently with Subsystems
:
- Team members work on different subsystems independently
- Code generation only for modified subsystems
- Total code generation time significantly reduced
- Code pattern libraries easy to include in tests by defining paths
- Supports tough process and test requirements, including incremental code generation
- NEW: Model referencing support
Incremental Code Generation
Incremental code generation lets developers perform their design iterations much faster. In a team of developers, each member can work on a subsystem individually and generate code only for that subsystem. TargetLink performs the necessary consistency checks when building the overall application from all the parts. Incremental code generation is available for Simulink subsystems which contain a TargetLink Function Block.
NEW: Model referencing support (TargetLink 3.0)
Model referencing greatly facilitates distributed development by large teams. Functionalities can be flexibly partitioned into several model files, versioned seperately, and developed on a modular or component basis. Parts of models can be simulated seperately and implemented individually by means of incremental code generation. This makes the handling of models, especially very large ones, easier and more efficient. A special feature lets users dissolve references to models temporarily and then restore them afterwards - for optimum convenience in developing subfunctionalities.
