How can I view the Speedgoat target screen on my host computer?

Can I view the display connected to my Speedgoat target on my host computer to monitor the Simulink Real-Time (SLRT) simulation and take screenshots?

For R2020b and later:

To view the status monitor from your development computer, use an SSH utility (such as PuTTY) to connect to the Speedgoat target. Follow steps 1-5 in the following documentation:

Execute Target Computer Command-Line Commands Via SSH

In the SSH session, start the status monitor by entering:

statusmonitor

For status monitor keyboard commands, refer to: Target Computer Status Monitor

If you only need to view the system log and have access to MATLAB & Simulink Real-Time, you can use the System Log Viewer in SLRT Explorer as an alternative. Open it directly by entering:

>> slrtLogViewer

To access the system log programmatically, use slrealtime.SystemLog.

For R2020a and earlier:

Live viewing the target screen GUI on the host computer is not possible. To obtain a screenshot from the target screen, you can use the following function in the MATLAB command line:

>> tg = slrt;
>> viewTargetScreen(tg)

To use this function, the target needs to be connected to the host and running.
