Targets and Scopes in the MATLAB Interface

You can work with xPC Target target and scope objects through the MATLAB interface (MATLAB Command Window), the target computer command line, a Web browser, or an xPC Target API. This chapter describes how to use the MATLAB interface to work with the target and scope objects in the following sections. See Execution Using the Target Computer Command Line for a description of the target computer command-line interface.
