Target Interface Dialog Box

Pressing the Target Interface button activates the External Target Interface dialog box.

The External Target Interface dialog box lets you specify the name of a MEX-file that implements host/target communications. This is known as the external interface MEX-file. The fields of the External Target Interface dialog box are:

• MEX-file for external interface: Name of the external interface MEX-file. The default is ext_comm, the TCP/IP-based external interface file provided for use with the GRT, GRT malloc, ERT, and Tornado targets

• Custom or third-party targets may use a different external interface MEX-file.

• MEX-file arguments: Arguments for the external interface MEX-file. For example, ext_comm allows three optional arguments: the network name of your target, the verbosity level, and a TCP/IP server port number.

See The External Interface MEX-File for details on ext_comm and its arguments.
