Typhoon HIL Toolboxes

Real-time only: This document is valid only for real-time/VHIL simulation.

Starter Features Pack

Typhoon HIL Control Center includes a wide variety of pre-built component models and features to help you build your project quickly. All Typhoon HIL components in the core library are available for free to add to your Schematic Editor model and use in a non-real time simulation mode (Virtual HIL or TyphoonSim with the TyphoonSim toolbox unlocked). However, some components and functionalities may behave differently or not at all during non-real time simulation. In these cases, visual indicators and tooltips will indicate the resulting behavior. Please refer to Simulation context definitions for more information.

With the purchase of any HIL simulator device, a large amount of these component models will also become available for real-time simulation for free on your site license. Additionally, test automation functionality via TyphoonTest IDE, together with a wide array of communication protocols, become available for you to use to expand your test coverage and capabilities. See the Starter Features page for more information.

Real-time Simulation Toolbox Offering

In addition to the freely available functionalities, there are also several commercial toolboxes available that include advanced features that enhance the capabilities of Typhoon HIL Control Center. In these cases, visual indicators and tooltips within the software will indicate the necessary toolboxes. Access to these features is tied to your software license, either per device or per user. Toolboxes can either be added individually to your software license, or included as part of a sales pack.

Table 1 shows which toolboxes are available with which sales packs. Follow the links in the table for each Toolbox to see which Schematic Editor components are unlocked for real-time simulation, and to find out more about the functionalities that are available within that Toolbox. Contact our sales team if you are interested in any or all of these Toolboxes for your software license.
