Software Installation Guide for EMB-DAQ1

(updated on 4/7/2025)

 Requirements â€‹

​

- Desktop or Laptop computer with Windows® XP or later

- USB 2.0 port

- MATLAB®  R2007b or later with

- Simulink® 

- MATLAB Coder™

- Simulink Coder™

- Simulink Desktop Real-Time™

- Zeltom EASYIO Software for your MATLAB® version (provided with the purchase of the EMB-DAQ1)​​​

 Step 1: Zeltom EASYIO Software Installation 

​

Our EMB-DAQ1 main board is the Zeltom EASYIO (or SIMLAB for more advanced plants that require 3 encoders). Next, we follow the installation of the EASYIO software.

​

- Step 1a

Ensure you have all the requirements mentioned above. Contact us if you need assistance with the requirements.

​

- Step 1b

Execute easyio2024a.exe (or your version of software) and follow the on-screen instructions for installation.​​​​​​​

 Step 2: Configuring sldrt_main.c 

​​​

- Step 2a

Locate the file sldrt_main.c under "your_matlab_root_folder_name\toolbox\sldrt\src" and rename it as sldrt_main.org (to keep the original sldrt_main.c).

- Step 2b

Copy sldrt_main.c from the EasyIO installation folder to this folder.

​

​​​​​​​​

 Step 3: Driver 

​​​

- Step 3a

Plug the EMB-DAQ1 to your computer using the USB cable, with the larger connector to the computer and the smaller to the rear of the EMB-DAQ1.

The driver should install automatically. If not, you can download from: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.

This will add a virtual com port to your computer.

​​​

- Step 5a

In the MATLAB® command window, type: sldrtkernel -install

​

​​​​​​​​

 General Notes: â€‹â€‹â€‹

 

  •  Make sure that the COM port number of each EASYIO block used in Simulink® matches the one installed above. For example, COM6.

  •  Work inside the folder in which you installed the EASYIO software, and ensure that your current MATLAB® folder is that particular folder. You can also add the EASYIO folder to the top of your MATLAB® path.

​

​​​​​​​​

 Congratulations, the installation is complete. You should have the EASYIO library in Simulink:
