Targets

Configure and manage target objects

Description

A Targets object represents Speedgoat^® target computers that are defined on the MATLAB^® development computer and provides access to methods related to the target computers.

Creation

targets_object = slrealtime.Targets() constructs a Targets object representing target computers that are connected to the development computer.

Example: Create Targets Object, Add Target Computers, Set IP Address

Object Functions

addTarget	Add target computer definition to Targets object
removeTarget	Remove target computer definition from targets object
getTargetSettings	Get target computer environment settings
getDefaultTargetName	Get default target computer name
setDefaultTargetName	Set default target computer name

Examples

Create Targets Object, Add Target Computers, Set IP Address

To work with multiple target computers, make the computer names available by using a Targets object.

1. Create Targets object tg_targets.

   tg_targets = slrealtime.Targets();

2. Create TargetSettings objects tg1TargetSettings, tg2TargetSettings, and tg3TargetSettings. Set name and address values for these objects.

   tg1TargetSettings = slrealtime.TargetSettings;
   tg2TargetSettings = slrealtime.TargetSettings;
   tg3TargetSettings = slrealtime.TargetSettings;
   
   tg1TargetSettings.name = 'TargetPC1';
   tg2TargetSettings.name = 'TargetPC2';
   tg3TargetSettings.name = 'TargetPC3';
   
   tg1TargetSettings.address = '192.168.7.5';
   tg2TargetSettings.address = '192.168.7.10';
   tg3TargetSettings.address = '192.168.7.15';

3. Add the target computer definitions to Targets object tg_targets.

   addTarget(tg_targets,tg1TargetSettings);
   addTarget(tg_targets,tg2TargetSettings);
   addTarget(tg_targets,tg3TargetSettings);

4. Create Target object tg1, tg2, and tg3 from the named target computer definitions in the Targets object.

   % assign target computers to target objects
   tg1 = slrealtime('TargetPC1');
   tg2 = slrealtime('TargetPC2');
   tg3 = slrealtime('TargetPC3');

5. List the name values for the target computers defined in the Targets object tg_targets.

   tg_targetSettings = getTargetSettings(tg_targets);
   tg_targetSettings.name

   ans =
   
       'TargetPC1'
   
   ans =
   
       'TargetPC2'
   
   ans =
   
       'TargetPC3'

Version History

Introduced in R2020b

R2026a: Revised syntax to update target computer address and netmask

Revised setipaddr function syntax and addTarget function syntax for compatibility with updated Targets object and introduction of TargetSettings object. These changes to objects and methods provide greater flexibility in managing multiple target computers.
