Chapter 1 IntroductionAutoCode Reference 1-2 ni.com• Chapter 8, AutoCode Sim Cdelay Scheduler, discusses the Sim Cdelaylow-latency scheduler.• Chapter 9, Global Scope Signals and Parameterless Procedures,discusses additional signals and procedures.This guide also has an Index.General InformationAs an integral part of the rapid prototyping concept, AutoCode lets yougenerate high-level language code from a SystemBuild block diagrammodel quickly, automatically, and without programming skills. TheAutoCode User Guide describes the processes for generating code,including the parameters that you must use. This manual provides detailsof how AutoCode actually works, so that you will have an idea of what toexpect from AutoCode if you attempt to modify the generation of code.Configuration FileThe configuration file is a text file containing tables of information relatedto the generated source code components of a model, like subsystems andnonscheduled procedure SuperBlocks. Each table contains configurationinformation about its respective component. Various configuration files aresupplied with AutoCode, including one for Real-Time Operating Systems(RTOS) as described in Chapter 4, Generating Code for Real-TimeOperating Systems. For additional configuration information, refer to theAutoCode User Guide.Language-Specific InformationThis manual describes some of the details of AutoCode operation for boththe C and Ada languages.Specific topics include the following:• Stand-alone (sa) files• Fixed-point code generation• UserCode Blocks (UCBs)• Macro Procedure Blocks• Procedure SuperBlocks
