- The main job of the RTS is to run real-time controls models. These are designed in MATLAB and built with the Real Time Code Generator (RCG). Models take inputs from ADCs and other hardware and control DACs/ send data to the DAQ.

- One drawback of this setup is MATLAB and other workstations tools can take up a lot of resources (CPU/memory) and negatively impact the functionality of the RTS. A common workaround is to setup the CyMAC as normal, but also setup a "workstation" machine for running MATLAB and other workstation tools from.
