VisSim/Fixed Point
VisSim/Fixed Point lets you easily simulate the behavior of fixed-point algorithms prior to code generation and implementation of the algorithm on fixed-point hardware. You can simulate fixed-point algorithms -- such as, controllers or filters -- together with floating point components -- such as, motor or amplifier models -- to validate their behavior in a "virtual" system prototype. When used in conjunction with VisSim/Embedded Controls Developer, VisSim/Fixed Point produces highly efficient, fixed-point production code to a Texas Instruments C2000 DSP or any fixed-point target supporting a C compiler.

VisSim/Fixed Point includes a comprehensive tutorial on fixed-point controller design, along with an example of converting a floating-point controller implementation to a fixed-point implementation.

Features

  • Automatic radix point scaling of all fixed-point blocks and fixed-point operations to maximize dynamic range

  • Color highlighting at the block level for overflow alerts

  • Use of high and low watermarks to determine adequate headroom for radix point settings

  • Master word length control that enables the fixed-point word length to be changed for the entire block diagram

  • Choose any word size between 1 and 32

  • "Smart" blocks: data-type-aware blocks that become fixed- or floating-point based on the input data type

  • Intuitive dialog boxes to configure fixed-point options
