QUARC Real-Time Control Software

Accelerating control design

Software

QUARC™ is the most efficient way to design, develop, deploy and validate real-time applications on hardware using Simulink®. QUARC generates real-time code directly from Simulink-designed controllers and runs it in real-time on the Windows target – all without digital signal processing or without writing a single line of code.

Product Details

QUARC helps educators to bridge the gap between theoretical models and the real world. With QUARC, they don’t need to worry about interfacing to hardware or deterministic performance. Using the intuitive Simulink graphical interface, they can give students a systematic understanding of the design of complex systems and let them interact in real time. For researchers, QUARC makes developing algorithms fast and reliable. With an extensive set of cross-platform, research-grade libraries for control, communications, image processing, and more, they can deploy their algorithms to a wide variety of local and remote platforms with a push of a button.

Take full advantage of Quanser’s course resources to rapidly deploy an experiential teaching lab. Also the easiest way to communicate in real-time between any distribution of applications, at any rate, using any protocol.

  • Enables the complete range of Quanser teaching products and course resources
  • Support for the Simulink graphical development environment using external mode to enable real-time execution, parameter tuning, and data monitoring in Windows
  • Quanser hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) API for fast and easy access to a wide variety of hardware devices from data acquisition cards and cameras, to user interface devices including joysticks and haptic wands
  • Support for Quanser Interactive Labs (QLabs) Platform
