xPC Target

Getting the Value of a Target Object Property

You can list a property value in the MATLAB window, or assign that value to a MATLAB variable. With xPC Target you can use either a function syntax or an object property syntax.

The syntax get(target_object, property_name) can be replaced by

• target_object.property_name
  

For example, to access the start time:

1. In the MATLAB window, type

• endrun = tg.stoptime
  

2. Alternatively, you could type

• endrun = get(tg,'stoptime') or tg.get('stoptime')
  

Signals are also target object properties. For example, to get the value of the Integrator1 signal from the model xpcosc:

1. In the MATLAB window, type

• outputvalue= tg.S0
  

2. Alternatively, you could type

• outputvalue = get(tg, 's2') or tg.get('s2')
  

To get a list of readable properties, type target_object. Without assignment to a variable, the property values are listed in the MATLAB window.

Note    Method names are case sensitive and need to complete, but property names are not case sensitive and need not be complete as long as they are unique.
