Description

A Target object represents a Speedgoat® target computer and provides access to Object Functions, Target Object Properties, and Target Object Events related to the target computer.

The object provides access to methods and properties that:

  • Start and stop the real-time application.

  • Read and set parameters.

  • Log and stream signals.

  • Retrieve status information about the target computer.

  • Restart the target computer.

  • Load the real-time application.

  • Start, stop, and retrieve information from the profiler.

Function names are case-sensitive. Type the entire name. Property names are not case-sensitive. You do not need to type the entire name if the characters you type are unique for the property.

You can invoke some of the object properties and functions from the target computer command line when the real-time application has been loaded. For more information, see Target Computer Command-Line Interface.

Creation

target_object = slrealtime constructs a target object representing the default target computer.

target_object = slrealtime(target_name) constructs a target object representing the target computer designated by target_name.

The slrealtime function accepts these arguments:

  • target_name — Name assigned to target computer (character vector or string scalar). For example, 'TargetPC1'.

  • target_object — Object representing target computer. For example, tg.

Example: Create Target Object for Default Target Computer

Example: Build and Run Real-Time Application

Examples

collapse all

Create a target object that represents the default target computer.

Create target object tg for the default target computer. You can select the default target computer by using Simulink Real-Time Explorer.

tg = slrealtime

Create a target object that represents target computer TargetPC1.

Create target object tg for a target computer by using an explicit name.

tg = slrealtime('TargetPC1')

Build and download slrt_ex_osc and execute the real-time application.

Open, build, and download the real-time application:

tg = slrealtime;
mdlSTF = getSTFName(tg);
mdlName = 'slrt_ex_osc';
openExample(mdlName);
set_param(mdlName,"SystemTargetFile",mdlSTF);
slbuild(mdlName);
load(tg,mdlName);
start(tg);
