Using the VeriStand Model Framework for Simulink

VeriStand is software that engineers use to validate hardware and perform embedded software tests for Hardware-in-the-Loop applications. Use VeriStand to accelerate your product development with model integration, real-time stimulus generation, and an extensible open software environment.

Key Features

The features that set VeriStand apart.

• Import simulation models and control algorithms
• Configure real-time I/O
• Configure stimulus generation and deploy real-time tests
• Enable test automation with .NET, TestStand, Python, ASAM XIL, and other software
• Create custom plugins with an extensible ecosystem
• Respond to events with configurable alarms
• Configure a user interface during execution
• Monitor application data, alarm states, and system execution metrics

Components of a VeriStand System

A VeriStand system includes VeriStand, test hardware, add-ons, and extensions.

Component Type	Component	Notes
Software	VeriStand	Install VeriStand and recommended drivers using NI Package Manager.
Hardware	Real-time hardware device	Use any hardware that runs NI Linux Real-Time (Intel x64-based). For more information, refer to the release notes.
Optional Add-ons	VeriStand custom devices Simulink models	Install VeriStand custom devices using NI Package Manager and GitHub. For more information, refer to NI GitHub. You can also develop your own custom devices. For more information refer to the VeriStand Custom Device Handbook. To use Simulink CPU models, refer to the VeriStand Model Generation Support toolbox. For Simulink FPGA targeted models, refer to HDL Coder Support Package for NI FPGA Hardware.
Optional Extensions	System Definition API Execution API	Use the System Definition API to automate the configuration of a VeriStand system. Use the Execution API to automate the orchestration of a VeriStand system. You can access these APIs from C#, Python, and LabVIEW.
