Stateflow® software runs on Windows® and UNIX® operating systems. Your MATLAB® installation documentation provides all the information you need to install Stateflow software. Before installing the product, you must obtain and activate a license (see instructions in your MATLAB installation documentation) and install prerequisite software (see Prerequisite Software for a complete list).
Before installing Stateflow software, you need the following products:
MATLAB
Simulink®
C or C++ compiler supported by the MATLAB technical computing environment
The compiler is required for compiling code generated by Stateflow software for simulation.
The 64–bit Windows version of the Stateflow product comes with a default C
compiler, LCC-win64.
LCC-win64 is used for
simulation and acceleration.
LCC-win64 is only used when
another compiler has not been configured in
MATLAB.
The LCC-win64 compiler is
not available as a general compiler for use with
the command line MEX in
MATLAB. It is a C compiler only, and cannot
be used for SIL/PIL
modes.
For platforms other than Microsoft® Windows or to install a different compiler, see Set Up Your Own Target Compiler.
For information about product dependencies and requirements, see System Requirements.
If you have multiple compilers that MATLAB supports on your system, MATLAB selects one as your default compiler. You can
change the default compiler by calling the mex
–setup command, and following the
instructions. For a list of supported compilers, see
www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/current_release/.
If you are using Microsoft Visual C++® 2010 Professional (or earlier), the generated C code cannot contain any C structure greater than 2 GB. In a single chart, do not use data with an aggregate size greater than 2 GB or 400 MB with debugging enabled.
If you plan to run the Microsoft Windows version of the Stateflow product on a laptop computer, you should configure the Windows color palette to use more than 256 colors. Otherwise, you may experience unacceptably slow performance.
To set the Windows graphics palette:
Click the right mouse button on the Windows desktop to display the desktop menu.
Select Properties from the desktop menu to display the Windows Display Properties dialog box.
Select the Settings panel on the Display Properties dialog box.
Choose a setting that is more than 256 colors and click OK.
