The NI LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit gives control system design and test engineers a link between the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment and The MathWorks, Inc. Simulink software. With the LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit, you can easily build custom LabVIEW user interfaces to view and control your simulation model during run time. This toolkit also provides a plug-in for use with The MathWorks, Inc. Real-Time Workshop®, so you can connect, using LabVIEW, your model developed in the Simulink environment, to the real world through a variety of real-time I/O platforms (requires the LabVIEW Real-Time Module). With these capabilities, you can easily take your models from software verification to real-world prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop simulation.

Verify Models with a LabVIEW User Interface
Using the LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit, you can build custom user interfaces for models created in the Simulink environment. The SIT Connection Manager offers a configuration-based utility to connect a custom LabVIEW user interface to your models, eliminating the need for any programming knowledge. With the custom user interface, you can easily simulate, analyze, and verify your control model on a desktop PC.

Deploying Models to Real-Time Hardware
The LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit also provides a plug-in for The MathWorks, Inc. Real-Time Workshop® software that helps facilitate the importation of your models into LabVIEW. When you use this capability with LabVIEW Real-Time, you can connect your model to the real world through a variety of real-time I/O platforms and still take advantage of the user interface capabilities used in the verification of the model. With the LabVIEW environment, you can select the appropriate real-time platform based on the performance, portability, and durability requirements of your application.
