Abstract:

THIS DOCUMENT HAS NOT BEEN MAINTAINED AFTER RCG 4.2.
The RCG (advligorts) now lives in git, and its documentation has been moved a linear combination of

For the development of realtime controls application software, the LIGO Control and Data Systems (CDS)
group has developed an automated realtime code generator (RCG). This RCG uses Matlab Simulink as a
graphical data entry tool to define the desired control algorithms. The resulting Matlab .mdl file is then
used by the RCG to produce software to run on an AdvLigo CDS front end control computer.
