Cutting-edge Hardware and Software Make Quanser Lab Tools Reliable and Robust

Imagine a versatile, robust, refined and integrated control lab workstation that gives you piece of mind. First, most Quanser plants come with extensive curriculum. Plants, data acquisition cards, amplifiers and controllers are also supplied with your purchase. All these components were engineered to ensure your lab equipment runs reliably, with little maintenance, for years.

Using MATLAB/Simulink?

Plants, data acquisition boards, amplifiers and even curriculum are fully integrated with MATLAB®/Simulink®. To design control models, MATLAB users will require QUARC® real-time software add-on software from Quanser. 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. QUARC licenses can be purchased with your workstation.

Using NI LabVIEW?

LabVIEW users will require the Quanser Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) Toolkit, an add-on to the National Instruments graphical development environment. Combined with the LabVIEW™ Control Design and Simulation module and Quanser Q1-cRIO module for NI CompactRIO controller, the Qunser RCP Toolkit is a powerful control design tool which spans the spectrum of design from simulation to control implementation. Using RCP Toolkit you can simplify hardware setup and interfacing and shorten the controller development cycle. Click here to learn more about the Quanser RCP Toolkit for NI LabVIEW.
