VisSim/Fixed
Point lets you easily simulate the
behavior of fixed-point algorithms prior to code generation and
implementation of the algorithm on fixed-point hardware. You can
simulate fixed-point algorithms -- such as, controllers or filters
-- together with floating point components -- such as, motor or
amplifier models -- to validate their behavior in a
"virtual" system prototype. When used in conjunction
with VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer, VisSim/Fixed Point
produces highly efficient, fixed-point production code to a Texas
Instruments C2000 DSP or any fixed-point target supporting a C
compiler.
VisSim/Fixed
Point includes a comprehensive tutorial on fixed-point controller
design, along with an example of converting a floating-point
controller implementation to a fixed-point implementation.
Features
Automatic
radix point scaling of all fixed-point blocks and fixed-point
operations to maximize dynamic range
Color
highlighting at the block level for overflow alerts
Use
of high and low watermarks to determine adequate headroom for
radix point settings
Master
word length control that enables the fixed-point word length
to be changed for the entire block diagram
Choose
any word size between 1 and 32
"Smart"
blocks: data-type-aware blocks that become fixed- or
floating-point based on the input data type
Intuitive
dialog boxes to configure fixed-point options
