Automated Fixed-Point Conversion in MATLAB

Conversion to fixed point using the Fixed-Point Converter app

The Fixed-Point Converter app enables you to convert floating-point MATLAB® code to fixed-point MATLAB code.

Use fiaccel to convert floating-point MATLAB code to fixed-point MATLAB code at the command line.
