Host-Target Communication

Whether using a serial connection (RS232) or using a network connection (TCP/IP), information is exchanged between the host PC and target PC. This information includes

• Target application -- Download a target application from the host to the target computer.
• Control -- Change properties and control the target application. This includes starting and stopping the target application, changing sample and stop times, and getting information about the performance of the target application and CPU.
• Signal data -- Upload signal data from the host computer for analysis after the target application is finished running, or view signal data during the run.
• Parameter values -- Download parameter values to the target computer between runs or during a run.
