The AD7011-EVA is a Linux computer with diversified array of inputs and outputs, including ADC (Analog-Digital-Converter) and DAC (Digital-Analog-Converter), which are necessary for measurement and control. You can make control programs using The MathWorks MATLAB/Simulink or C-language (Eclipse) and create GUIs and console screens by drag-and-drop with A&D's AD-VirtualConsole (bundled software). You perform a series of operations on a Windows PC and then transfer your work to the AD7011-EVA. The AD7011-EVA includes S-function programs (driver software) for all equipped input-output interfaces as standard so you can get to work quickly. The AD7011-EVA is a very reasonably priced product for actual device validation tests and control as a target machine of MATLAB/Simulink, a model-based development tool that has received much attention recently. The AD7011-EVA equipped with an i.MX31 with an ARM1136 core processor, a Linux OS with a real-time extension (Xenomai) and a ZigBee module (option) for wireless communication.

Create control programs with MATLAB/Simulink

Create model-based control programs on a Windows PC using MATLAB/Simulink.
Required software: MATLAB2007b series or later, MATLAB, Simulink, and Real-Time Workshop.
(Trial versions of MATLAB, Simulink and other software can be downloaded from The MathWorks website.)

MATLAB /Simulink R R

  • Confirm the license information that is included with the software.
  • Supported Windows operating systems

GUI Design Tool

  • Easily design your own control console screens on a host PC (Windows PC).
  • Choose and place diversified parts, such as indicators, switches, signals, and graphs, to create various console screens.
  • Console screens are created using drag and drop operations.
  • Personalize the color and size of screen parts.
  • After completing the screen, associate definitions with the control program, and then run the control program and console screen together.
