OP-102: RT-XSG solution for real-time solution

Course title:   OP-102: RT-XSG solution for real-time solution.

Course description:  Developing model on FPGA from model based design is now possible. RT-XSG combined with Opal-RT hardware provides a solution to adapt a Simulink application into a powerful FPGA Real-time application.

Duration:    3 days (course of 7 hours each days)

Prerequisite:  OP-101
