Successor

For new projects we recommend that you use the successor, dSPACE MicroLabBox.

MicroLabBox is supported by dSPACE Releases since 2014-B.

The MicroLabBox is a compact, all-in-one development system for the laboratory and is more than just a suitable replacement. It also provides numerous additional benefits such as greatly improved computation power with its 2 GHz dual-core PowerPC processor, its free programmable Xilinx^® Kintex^®-7 FPGA and the integrated connector-panel. For high-bandwidth data acquisition, the MicroLabBox also provides an Gigabit Ethernet host interface.

If you have any questions or need further information, your contact in the dSPACE sales team will be glad to help. 

Migration Information

Generally the Simulink models for DS1103 can be reused. However, the DS1103 RTI blocks must be replaced with the corresponding blocks from the MicroLabBox RTI1202 library.

Additional dedicated migration information would be published here.
