Simple and quick introduction to the use of VisSim.

Introduction to Vissim/Embedded Controls Developer

Learn the basics of placing and connecting blocks, then move on to  create a fixed-point controller and generate code for a DSP. See live DSP based closed-loop control of vane position via PWM actuation of an electric fan.

Fixed point modeling and code generation

See how VisSim/Fixed-point blocks simplify fixed-point algorithm development.

Targeting the MSP430 with VisSim

An in depth look at using VisSim to generate embedded applications for the MSP430 ultra-low power microprocessor chip set from Texas Instruments. Control the movie flow by clicking on peripherals and VisSim blocks of interest. A sample application for the eZ430-F2013 evaluation board is examined. Viewers will see closed loop control using the SD16A 16 bit analog inputs, PWM outputs, quadrature encoder inputs, in less than 128 bytes of RAM.

F280x ADC, Filter Design and wave form monitoring

Configure and use the F28xx ADC unit. Learn how to create a fixed-point IIR filter and capture high speed waveforms.

Digital Power Design with the F280x

Explains the use of VisSim to create and tune 10 simultaneous buck converters running on an F28044 at 100KHz control rate.

Using the F280x enhanced PWM

Configure and use the ePWM unit. See how VisSim can dynamically change and display PWM waveforms by controlling phase, duty cycle, time base synchronization, action qualifiers and chopper.

Exploring Damped Harmonic Motion

A gripping examination of harmonic oscillators explained with the use of VisSim.

Solving Implicit Equations

Solve implicit equations using VisSim's built in implicit equation solver.

Using Mathcad with VisSim

Embed and exchange data with Mathcad in a VisSim diagram.

Using the VisSim OPC Interface

VisSim/OPC links to an OPC database server and  reads and writes OPC plant tag data interactively in real-time.  A model is validated with OPC plant data and a real-time model is used for off-line tuning.
