QUARC Real-Time Control Software
Accelerating control design
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.
