noframe Raptor™ Training, created by our team of experienced system engineers, provides hands-on experience which enables the new practitioner to gain familiarity with the tool chain by building, deploying, calibrating, and refining a real world control application. Use this page as a guide during training, here you can find a detailed agenda, documentation and helpful links. Training Agenda This Agenda is the basic structure of Raptor Training, and provides an in depth tutorial on using Raptor in a real world environment. Downloads This section is for all documentation you may need for Raptor Training Software Downloads GCM 196 Block Diagram Raptor-Cal User Manual blah blah blah All the latest Raptor software for training can by accessing: software.neweagle.net. If you have already purchased a software license, you can download the latest release of the Raptor-Cal software at software.neweagle.net. Getting Started Software Requirements Below is a short software checklist for Raptor Training: Windows 7 MATLAB and Simulink Raptor-Dev Raptor-Cal Compiler Please note: If a Mathworks demo is required, please contact New Eagle Support prior to training For a full list on how to get started use the Click Below: Licensing Once Raptor is installed you will need to navigate to the New Eagle License Viewer. By default located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\NewEagle\Raptor\YOUR_RAPTOR_VERSION Below are the basic steps on how to request a new license: Select the settings button Click 'New License' Fill out the information, and click submit For more information on how use the License Viewer Click Below: Raptor Version The final step of setting up the Raptor-Dev envirment is linking it to MATLAB. This is easily done by opening the Raptor Configuration Editor. By Default located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\NewEagle\Raptor\ This is also detailed in the getting started section, click below to view this section: Raptor-Dev Basics Now that Raptor-Dev is installed and ready for use, we will start off with some basic function of Raptor Dev. Creating a Project The MATLAB window will look something like this Creating a new project is done by navigating to the MATLAB command console and typing: raptor_create_project('project_name') Note: Make sure to have your project name in the parentheses and within single quotes. Click below for more details on starting a Raptor project: Kit Set Up A large part of Raptor Training is the hands-on experience, which is delivered using an simulated workbench using a GCM 196. Below is a diagram of how the training kit should be set up, this covers what should be configured and which pins should be connected. GCM 196 Training Block Diagram When this is complete, it is time to flash the module for the first time. Steps for this are provided in the next section! Raptor-Cal Basics New Eagle's Raptor-Cal is a powerful calibration tool that can be used to flash, calibrate and monitor modules. Using a simple, user friendly interface Raptor-Cal is the a great tool not only for this course, but for out in the field. Raptor-Cal's flash module function is extremely useful and necessary during training, since this is how we will get the software created in the Raptor-Dev environment to the module being used. Once you have build your first model and the training kit is set up correctly, it is time to flash. Below is a simple ECU flashing procedure: Click 'Flash' Select the training module Select the Raptor Package (.rpg) that was created from the most recent build Click 'Connect' This will now commence the flashing procedure.
