Using Simulink to make a speed measuring and controlling system. Am I going to be able to make a program?

Hi all, I am using simulink in external mode to make a program to measure and control the speed in a materials testing machine using a rotary encoder. I am not sure if in the future I will be able to make a executable program with a graphical interface using the code made simulink for measuring and controlling. Mi goal is to make a closed loop control system for speed and deformation speed; so I don´t want to advance any more in simulink without knowing if I will be able to use it in te future.

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Generating code for a controller should be straightforward with Simulink Coder and Embedded Coder. You can create an executable automatically with these tools.

If you are using MATLAB for the GUI you can utilize the system command to call the executable. You can also alter the auto-generated main-file to accept inputs/outputs as needed.
