Signal Tracing

Signal tracing is the process of acquiring and visualizing signals while running a target application. It allows you to acquire signal data and visualize it on the target PC or upload the signal data and visualize it on the host PC while the target application is running. This section includes the following topics:

• Signal Tracing with xPC Target Remote Control Tool -- Use the xPC Target GUI (scope dialog boxes) to create and run scopes that display on the host PC
• Signal Tracing with MATLAB -- Use the MATLAB Command Window to create scopes and scope objects
• Signal Tracing with xPC Target Scope Blocks -- Use scopes of type host to trace signal data triggered by an event while your target application is running
• Signal Tracing with a Web Browser -- Use Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator to view signals

Signal tracing differs from signal logging. With signal logging you can only look at signals after a run is finished, and the entire log of the run is available. For information on signal logging, see Signal Logging.
