Portable Real-Time Simulation & Control System

The AD5436 is a high-speed measurement and control system that can be customized for a wide variety of applications. It addresses various systems requirements by combining multiple I/O boards and a CPU employing a Linux Real-Time Operating System. Its easily programmed using MATLAB/Simulink® models and A&D’s GUI-generating and experimentation support tool VirtualConsole.

After downloading compiled Simulink/Stateflow models onto the AD5436, it is possible to monitor and change parameters easily. The AD5436 has 14 programmable function keys and a touch-screen interface for stand-alone functionality. It can also be controlled via a Windows PC Ethernet connection and A&D’s VirtualConsole software. It is also possible to connect, modify, and operate multiple AD5436 units over a network for advanced applications requiring higher processing power or for distributed control.
