xPC Target

Target Object Methods

The target object methods allow you to control a target application on the target PC from the host PC.

Target object methods are entered in the MATLAB window on the host PC. You can also control the target application from the target PC using target PC commands. See Target PC Commands.

The methods are listed in the following table.

Table 7-2: List of Target Object Methods

Method	Description
xpc	Creates a target object on the host PC (constructor).
set	Sets writable target object properties to the specified value.
get	Returns the value of readable properties from a target object.
start	Starts the execution of a target application on the target PC.
stop	Stops the execution of a target application on the target PC.
load	Downloads a target application from the host PC to the target PC.
unload	Unloads a target application from the target PC. If a target application is running, it is stopped and unloaded.
addscope	Creates a new scope with type 'host' or 'target' on the target PC.
getscope	Returns the properties of a previously created scope from the target PC. The scope properties can be assigned to a MATLAB variable to create a scope object.
remscope	Removes a scope from the target PC. This method does not remove the scope object, on the host PC, that represent the scope.
getparamid	Returns the property name or index of a parameter from the target object.
getsignalid	Returns the property name or index of a signal from the target object.
getlog	Uploads and returns one of the data logs from the target PC to the host PC. TimeLog, StateLog, OutputLog, TETLog
reboot	Reboot the target PC. If a target application is running, the target application is stopped, and then the target PC is rebooted.
close	Close the serial connection to the target PC so that the host PC can use the COMM port for another device.
