xPC Target

Getting the Value of a Target Object Property

You can list a property value in the MATLAB window, or assign that value to a MATLAB variable. With xPC Target you can use either a function syntax or an object property syntax.

The syntax get(target_object, property_name) can be replaced by

target_object.propety_name

For example, to access the start time:

1. In the MATLAB window, type

endrun = tg.stoptime

2. Alternately, you could type

endrun = get(tg,'stoptime') or tg.get('stoptime')

Signals are also target object properties. For example, to get the value of the Integrator1 signal from the model xpcosc:

1. In the MATLAB window, type

outputvalue= tg.S0

2. Alternately, you could type

outputvalue = get(tg, 's2') or tg.get('s2')

To get a list of readable properties, type target_object. Without assignment to a variable, the property values are listed in the MATLAB window.

Note    Method names are case-sensitive and need to complete, but property names are not case-sensitive and need not be complete as long as they are unique.
