Altair Embed 2022.2.0

These Release Notes cover four products: Altair Embed, Altair Embed Basic, Altair Embed SE, and Altair Embed Viewer. They include new features and enhancements, known issues, and resolved simulation and code generation issues.

General Enhancements

How-to guide
- Provides easy-to-follow steps to perform common simulation and code generation tasks

Blocks

Knowledge Studio Scoring block
- Generates a DLL that can simulate the response of a decision tree before deploying it on hardware for verification
State Chart block
- Executes multiple transitions in one step
- Executes temporal events
- Allows transitions to be straight lines

Code Generation Enhancements
These features and enhancements apply only to Altair Embed and Altair Embed Basic; they do not apply to Altair Embed SE

Code Generation Enhancements

STMicroelectronics STM32
- Supports the latest GNU toolchain

Resolved GUI Issues
- Compound blocks: colors on compound block are incorrect when Local Time Step or Execute on Interrupt parameter is activated
- Local Help install: needs better online instructions
- Missing descriptions of input connectors on ePWM blocks
- Saving a vsmx file as a vsm file has issues with compound blocks
- Temp files remain after uninstall

Resolved Simulation Issues
- Bezel block: does not support PNG files
- DialogTable block: attached data table sometimes crashes Embed
- Export block: Append mode broken in 64-bit Embed
- Histogram block: when maximized and pressing CTRL+Z corrupts the diagram
- Matrix dotProduct block: produces wrong simulation results
- Plot block: inconsistent Axes tab
- Plot block: Multi-XY plot fails
- Plot block: plot scaling does not change when you select different unit
- Plot block: when maximized and pressing CTRL+Z corrupts the diagram
- Plot3D block: inconsistent Axes tab
- Plot3D block: when maximized and pressing CTRL+Z corrupts the diagram
- SpectrumDisplay block: when maximized and pressing CTRL+Z corrupts the diagram
- State Charts: Embed crashes when editing State Charts Properties dialog
- StripChart block: inconsistent Axes tab
- TransferFunction block: crashes Embed when pole-zero format selected without checking the Poles and Zeros tab
- Video block: when maximized and pressing CTRL+Z corrupts the diagram
- Plot block: tick marks disappear on small plots
- State Charts: editing State Machines sometimes causes unrecoverable error

Resolved Code Generation Issues
These issues apply to Altair Embed and Altair Embed Basic; they do not apply to Altair Embed SE.
- Arduino: Help button in UDP Read and Write dialogs do not work
- Arduino: I2C slave configuration fails
- Arduino: matrix operation throws undefined reference to _VsmDisplay and cannot generate ELF files
- Compound block matrix input not working for HIL
- Embed 32-bit: issues installing TI drivers
- Integrator block: does not produce output during code generation
- Linux: pop-up message while compiling matrix operation blocks
- Raspberry Pi: Change Period Dynamically parameter for PWM for sim block does not work
- Raspberry Pi: using Bullseye OS gives compile error when selecting compound block
- State Chart compiler does not support // for comments
- Texas Instruments: F28379 and F280049 do not accept ADC interrupts
- Texas Instruments: F28x target: couldn’t differentiate ePWM output pins present in ePWM simulation block
