API Guide

The xPC Target API allows you to create custom GUI applications running on the host PC that communicate with your target application running on the target PC. This book includes the following chapters:

Introduction	Create custom applications to control a real-time application running on the target PC
xPC Target API	Create a Visual C/C++ command-line interface
xPC Target COM API	Tag parameters and signals in your Simulink model, create a target application and COM library, and then create a Visual Basic GUI using COM objects
xPC Target COM API Demos and Scripts	Read about xPC Target COM API demos and scripts
