QUARC 2.2
Four ways to use QUARC:
Control Design, Now Accelerated
Spend more time designing, less time coding. Designed by engineers for
engineers, QUARC significantly accelerates the control design and implementation
process. Like with its popular predecessor WinCon, QUARC helps you achieve
high performance research with hard real-time using the QNX® Neutrino
Real Time Operating System. Alternatively you can attain soft real-time
when running on Windows-based operating systems.
QUARC seamlessly integrates with Simulink® for rapid controls prototyping
and hardware-in-the-loop testing. It is fully integrated with Real
Time Workshop. You can draw a controller, generate code and run it in real-time
without time-consuming hand coding.
Academic Use
Designed to meet industrial demands, QUARC has become a valuable tool
for educators focused on advanced research, masters’ level teaching
and even undergraduate teaching. Learn its key features.

New features of QUARC 2.2
From teaching the fundamentals of control system design to conducting advanced research where hard-real time is critical, QUARC 2.2 offers unbeatable power and flexibility.
Key features include:
- Full support for Simulink® external mode, including Scopes, Floating Scopes, Displays, To Workspace, online parameter tuning, etc.
- Single or multiple PC / board configurations supported
- Support of 64-bit and 32-bit platforms for Microsoft Windows 7 OS.
- Multi-processor
support under Windows 7 or improved sampling rates and performance
- Log data to MAT-file and
M-files
- Run Multithreaded and Multirate models
- Run more than one model
on a single target or multiple targets at the same time
- Standalone
controller execution
- Support for multiple targets (OS’s and
chipsets), such as Windows 7 (soft real-time)
and QNX (hard real-time)
- Windows-based cross compiler for gumstix boards (Linux Verdex target).
- Flexible and extensible communications framework
enabling distributed control, device interfacing, teleoperation and
general interprocess communication between models and local or remote
applications
- Unified, expandable data acquisition architecture supporting
cards from Quanser, National Instruments and other manufacturers

to enable any synchronous or asynchronous communication with processes
outside of the running controller
- Protocols natively supported include
TCP/IP, UDP, serial, shared memory, named pipes, ARCNET, and more
- Console for monitoring standard I/O (stdio) of a model even on a
remote target
- Support for model referencing, allowing object-oriented model
design and incremental compilation and linking for accelerating the
development of large models
