Profile matching is a common method of model validation. The response profiles produced by applying identical command signals to both the diagram on the host and the target application are compared. Any differences indicate the need for further debugging.
Target application response profiles collected from the target are transmitted to the host over the Hotlink interface and compared with the block diagram response profiles. Embed provides two data collection methods:
•Direct: Variable values are transmitted from the target to the host in real time as they are calculated. Overall communication bandwidth is limited to approximately 200 Hz.
•Buffered: The Monitor Buffer Read records variable values at the target execution rate (this can be 10 kHz or greater), stores them in a configurable array, and strobes the array to the host where the data can be saved or plotted.
