This release includes the first officially supported version of the xPC Target™ Explorer. It is a graphical user interface for xPC Target. It provides a single point of contact for almost all xPC Target interactions, including
Configure the host PC for xPC Target
Add and configure target PCs for xPC Target
Create boot disks for particular target PCs
Connect the target PCs for your xPC Target system to the host PC
Download a prebuilt target application, .dlm, to a target PC
Build a target application for a specific target PC
Start and stop the application that has been downloaded to the target
Add scopes of type host, target, and file to the downloaded target application
Monitor signals
Add and remove signals to the xPC Target scopes
Start and stop scopes
Adjust parameter values for the signals while the target application is running
The xPC Target Explorer GUI runs on your xPC Target host machine.
Use xPC Target Explorer to perform xPC Target activities. This tool encompasses the functionality of xpcsetup, xpcrctool, xpcscope, and xpctgscope. Note that in a future release, xpcrctool, xpcscope, and xpctgscope will be obsoleted.
See the xPC Target™ Getting Started Guide and the xPC Target™ User's Guide for details on xPC Target Explorer.
The xPC Target file system and FTP feature now support the concept of multiple targets. You can now specify which target PC to work with when using the file system or file object. In support of this, the xpctarget.fs and xpctarget.ftp constructors have changed to support an interface similar to that used by the xpctarget.xpc constructor.
xPC Target now enables your target application data to be accessed by a Vector CANape® system, Version 5.00.20 and 5.00.30. See the Vector CANape chapter in the xPC Target™ I/O Reference for further details.
This release is a Beta version of this support. The MathWorks encourages you to use this new feature and provide feedback.
The behavior of source block dialog boxes has changed.
The behavior of source block dialog boxes has changed as follows.
Opening a dialog box for a source block causes Simulink® to pause. While Simulink is paused, you can edit the parameter values. You must close the dialog box to have the changes take effect and allow Simulink to continue.
In particular, hardware input blocks in the xPC Target library (blocks that acquire data from hardware) are affected by this changed.
The xPC Target Explorer no longer supports changing tunable source block parameters while a simulation is running. You will find all such parameter fields disabled while a simulation is running.
References to the Dials & Gauges Blockset have been removed from the xPC Target documentation. As a result, the xPC Target documentation no longer describes the use of the Dials & Gauges Blockset. In particular, the Graphical User Interfaces chapter of the xPC Target™ User's Guide no longer describes this blockset.
Additionally, relevant xPC Target demos now use only the Gauges Blockset™.
xPC Target no longer supports the Watcom C/C++ Version 10.6 compiler. xPC Target only supports Watcom C/C++ Version 11.0 and Microsoft® compilers.
If you upgrade your xPC Target software from a previous version, you must recreate the target boot disk and you must rebuild your xPC Target applications.
