For a fraction of the cost of comparable systems, you can convert your PC into a powerful platform for controls development and deployment, and generate countless iterations of your Simulink control designs into automatically generated, deployable hard real-time code. QuaRC combined with a Quanser Power Amplifier and a Quanser Q4 or Q8 series control boards provide an ideal rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop development environment.

The QuaRC architecture ensures that the real-time process is afforded the highest CPU priority and is not pre-empted by any competing tasks other than the core OS functions. Quanser Q4 and Q8 series of boards all provide ample optical encoders, multiple analog and digital i/o capability, high sampling rates, and come with quick connect terminal boards for straightforward connectivity to the physical plants you are controlling.

Multiple configurations are possible by utilizing the host/target architecture, including the ability to communicate via the Internet allowing you to download controllers anywhere in the world and control them remotely! You can change controller parameters on the fly while the controller runs. You can plot real-time data and save it straight into the MATLAB workspace or to file.
