Release 12 includes important new versions of The Mathworks' flagship
products, Matlab 6 and Simulink 4.0, as well as upgrades of 40
application-specific software tools. Among these are the Neural Network
Toolbox 4.0, Statistics Toolbox 3.0, Data Acquisition Toolbox 2.0, Matlab
Compiler Suite 2.1 and Matlab Web Server. The Matlab desktop provides an
intuitive, highly flexible, visual user interface to Matlab 6.
The Simulink 4.0 product family, including Real-Time Workshop 4.0, builds
upon Matlab 6 with a wide range of new features. A new product, Simulink
Performance Tools 1.0, provides advanced model-based design capabilities,
including tools to model performance, compare two Simulink models
graphically and analyse the breadth and results of model simulation tests.
For embedded systems, the new Real-Time Windows Embedded Coder 1.0
produces optimised code for custom-embedded applications, with reduced
code size and more efficient utilisation of memory. Substantial updates
are also found in Simulink 4.0, Stateflow 4.0, Stateflow Coder 4.0,
Real-Time Workshop 4.0, Control System Toolbox 5.0 and System
Identification Toolbox 5.0.
