Patch 2.1p2 for dSPACE Release 2.1

Patch 2.1p2 for dSPACE Release 2.1, Build-No. 1999060901, corrects the following problems:

• Importing a CAN message from a CANalyzer database no longer leads to the error "Undefined function or variable 'rtigetfiledate'." in the MATLAB^® Command Window.
• In very large models, MATLAB no longer causes a segmentation violation if a model with CAN blocks from an RTI CAN Blockset is opened.
• Using RTI blocks with output ports and data type support (data type not equal double) in an offline simulation sometimes led to a segmentation fault.
• The executables of the DWO Kit also run correctly on fast PCs now.
• The *ddc C file generated from an SDF file by DDS2C.exe contains a wrong value for the ISR register. Therefore the DS230x board application may not run correctly. The DDS2C.exe file is part of the RTLIB230x 1.3.
• Problems when using the Hardware Manager of ControlDesk with certain boards have been corrected.
• The Python test automation module 'sdmlib' caused problems with multiprocessor systems and has been replaced.
• Tracing data in multiprocessing mode now works correctly with MLIB/MTRACE.
• Problems with the HTML Help are corrected with the HTML Help update.
