dSPACE Tutorial 2 (Receiving Signal)

Summary

Key Points

• —The process begins in MATLAB Simulink, where the RTI 1006 interface is selected, and a new model is created to receive signals. 1:10
• —A Gain block with a value of 10 is included because the ADC board divides the received signal by 10 before passing it to the dSPACE system, requiring multiplication to display the true value. 5:26
• —The Simulink model is saved and then built to generate the necessary SDF (System Definition File) for the dSPACE control system. 6:38
• —In the dSPACE Control Desk graphical user interface, a new project is created, and the generated SDF file is imported. 7:27
• —A numeric display instrument is added to the Control Desk experiment, and the 'Scope' variable from the model is dragged and dropped onto it to show the received signal. 8:53
• —A Scope block is added to the Simulink model to visualize the incoming signal from the external device. 10:07
• —The video focuses on receiving analog signals from an external device using the dSPACE system, converting them to digital signals via an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) board. 11:26
• —Instead of a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) board, an ADC board block (DS2003) is imported into the Simulink model, and a specific channel, such as 25, is assigned. 11:26
• —An external signal generator is connected to the assigned channel (channel 25) on the dSPACE ADC board using a bayonet nail connector. 12:07
• —The demonstration concludes by showing that as the voltage output from the signal generator is increased, the dSPACE system accurately receives and displays the corresponding signal on the numeric display. 14:19
