(openPR) - Over the last number of years, the simulation and control engineering industries have seen a considerable increase in the use of the freely available open-source operating system Linux. Success stories of Linux within the server market are now also apparent in the simulation and control engineering markets. The open-source-based SCALE-RT real-time simulation software is an excellent example of this trend.
The Linux-based SCALE-RT real-time simulation environment offers a flexible host-target prototyping environment for applications running on a cost-efficient PC-compatible hardware. SCALE-RT is a scalable product based on open-source software, which includes the reliable Linux kernel and the real-time Xenomai extension. Xenomai is the base of a Linux kernel which can support hard real-time applications.
SCALE-RT has included by default the numerical computation package Scilab/Scicos®. This offers the user a highly integrated professional modeling environment. It supports the powerful multi-core processor architecture and a wide variety of I/O hardware. In addition SCALE-RT integrates with other modeling tools such as Matlab®, Simulink®, Stateflow®, SimulationX® and Dymola.
SCALE-RT is a professional software package offering a comprehensive environment for the development of hardware-in-the-loop simulation systems, rapid control prototyping applications and complex test systems.
A free trial version is available at www.scale-rt.com/download. This trial version has very few restrictions and will not expire. It even comes with free technical support until the 31st of December, 2008.
Three variations of the product are available: classic, concert and opus.
