MicroDAQ Execution Profiling

In this application note we will measure Execution time for sampling considering No. of channels and event time and we can utilize that in a live application data access to verify if model works as expected or it needs to be modified. MicroDAQ MicroDAQ is an ideal platform for developers, scientists and geeks involved in real-time measurement and control development. The platform supports design flows from popular model based tools like SCILAB, MATLAB, and LABVIEW. The user has the choice to either go with a complete open source software toolchain or with the existing access to proprietary tools in the house. MicroDAQ Toolbox MicroDAQ toolbox combines Scilab/XCos environment with Embedded Solutions MicroDAQ real-time control measurement system equipped with TI C6000 DSP. Module extends Scilab by allowing user to automatically generate DSP applications directly from XCos scheme. User can use custom XCos blocks which gives access to MicroDAQ hardware (ADC, DAC, DIO, PWM, UART, Quadrature Encoder). Generated DSP application utilizes SYS/BIOS real-time operating system combined with code generated from XCos scheme.

MicroDAQ
MicroDAQ is an ideal platform for developers, scientists and geeks
involved in real-time measurement and control development. The platform
supports design flows from popular model based tools like SCILAB, MATLAB, and
LABVIEW. The user has the choice to either go with a complete open source
software toolchain or with the existing access to proprietary tools in the house.

MicroDAQ Toolbox
MicroDAQ toolbox combines Scilab/XCos environment with Embedded
Solutions MicroDAQ real-time control measurement system equipped with TI
C6000 DSP. Module extends Scilab by allowing user to automatically generate
DSP applications directly from XCos scheme. User can use custom XCos blocks
which gives access to MicroDAQ hardware (ADC, DAC, DIO, PWM, UART,

Step 3: Drag down the mdaq_setup to the Xcos window for setting the time and
change the parameter of profiling as 1

Step 4: Drag down the clock to generates a regular train of events that are
scheduled by parameter Period in seconds.

Step 5: Since our experiment calculates the execution time for a channel to
read the data , Here we are reading an analog value and thereby we can
calculate the execution time for various periods.

First activate the input by dragging input activation port from the port &
subsystems.

Step 6: Drag ADC block from commonly used blocks.


In ADC block two output will be there top one for Raw ADC value and another
one for voltage indication.

If we want to sample more No. of analog sensors values to sample we can add
channels as 1 2 3 8

Step 7: Drag signal block from commonly used blocks. Signal block reads signal
data from DSP application generated from Xcos model.

Step 8: Drag CScope from commonly used blocks. The Scope block displays its
input with respect to simulation time.

Application Notes

Hardware setup:
Kindly refer previous application note for configuring MicroDAQ. Here we
assigned AI1 in ADC block connect analog sensor output to that AI1 pin of
MicroDAQ.

Once after connection in Xcos file, go to Tools-> MicroDAQ Build and Load
model.

Then click run button, real time graph will open, and then see the response in
the graph by changing the analog sensor.
Then stop the simulation then click Tools -> MicroDAQ execution profile then
Time(uS) vs No. of samples graph will be generated thereby we can analyze the
time taken for execution will be calculated and we can utilize that in a live
