Compile models compatible with the LabVIEW Model Interface Toolkit.

Use the Model Interface VIs of the LabVIEW Model Interface Toolkit to run and interact with models. However, this toolkit does not provide support for compiling models that are compatible with the toolkit. The following free components are available from VeriStand. The components provide support for compiling compatible models:

  • VeriStand Model Generation Support Component—Provides a tool for compiling models in Mathworks Simulink.
  • VeriStand Model Framework Component—Provides tools to compile models created in C/C++ or third-party modeling environments, such as MathWorks Simulink software.
  • LabVIEW Model Support Component—Provides a tool for generating models from LabVIEW VIs.
  • FMI Support Component—Standard for compiling models designed in C/C++ or third-party modeling environments.
    • Note If you install the LabVIEW Model Interface Toolkit without the free components, environments like LabVIEW and the Simulink software do not support compiling compatible models.

    VeriStand Model Generation Support

    The VeriStand Model Generation Support allows compiling models using Mathworks Simulink for running in LabVIEW Model Interface Toolkit. When you run your test application that you designed using the LabVIEW Model Interface Toolkit, the application executes functions that the .vsmodel binaries define. The .vsmodel binaries also execute your model code.

    VeriStand Model Framework

    The VeriStand Model Framework provides tools for compiling models created in third-party modeling environments and for designing custom models in C/C++. When you run your test application, designed using the LabVIEW Model Interface Toolkit, the application executes functions defined in VeriStand Model Framework files. These functions then call functions in your model code to execute the model.

    The VeriStand installer installs the VeriStand Model Framework files and documentation at RootDrive:\VeriStand\xxxx\ModelInterface\, where RootDrive is the drive where NI software installs and xxxx is the VeriStand version number. If you cannot locate the files at that location, run the VeriStand installer again and select the VeriStand Model Framework item from the list of features to install. You do not need to reinstall other NI software to install the VeriStand Model Framework.
