Target Objects

What Is a Target Object?

The xPC Target software uses a target object (of class xpctarget.xpc) to represent the target kernel and your target application. Use target object functions to run and control real-time applications on the target PC with scope objects to collect signal data.

See Function Reference and Functions for a reference of the target functions.

An understanding of the target object properties and methods will help you to control and test your application on the target PC.

A target object on the host PC represents the interface to a target application and the kernel on the target PC. You use target objects to run and control the target application.

When you change a target object property on the host PC, information is exchanged with the target PC and the target application.

To create a target object,

  1. Build a target application. The xPC Target software creates a target object during the build process.

  2. Use the target object constructor function xpc. In the MATLAB® Command window, type tg = xpctarget.xpc.

Target objects are of class xpctarget.xpc. A target object has associated properties and methods specific to that object.
