Getting Started with the Fixed-Point Blockset
- Preface contains information on Fixed-Point Blockset characteristics, system
requirements, licensing information, related products, installation information, typographical conventions,
and how to use this guide.
- Introduction presents benefits of fixed-point hardware and the Fixed-Point
Blockset, gives an overview of the development cycle for simulating dynamic systems, discusses compatibility
of Fixed-Point Blockset blocks with Simulink blocks, and describes how to access Help.
- Getting Started with the Blockset gives an overview of Fixed-Point Blockset features, presents
a data type conversion example, and lists the blockset's demos.
