Namespace: target

Describe communication channel properties

Since R2020b

Description

Use a target.CommunicationChannel object to describe communication channel properties for an I/O connection between two systems. You can use the object as part of a target.Connection object. target.RS232Channel,target.TCPChannel, and target.UDPChannel are examples of predefined communication channels.

This code from Set Up PIL Connectivity by Using Target Framework shows how to specify the connection between your development computer and target hardware. In the example, the target application runs on your development computer as a separate process and uses a TCP communication channel through localhost.

connection = target.create('TargetConnection'); connection.Name = 'Host Process Connection'; connection.Target = hostTarget; connection.CommunicationChannel = target.create('TCPChannel'); connection.CommunicationChannel.Name = ... 'External Process TCPCommunicationChannel'; connection.CommunicationChannel.IPAddress = 'localhost'; connection.CommunicationChannel.Port = '0';

Note

Using name-value arguments, you can create the connection object with this command:

connection = target.create('TargetConnection', ... 'Name', 'Host Process Connection', ... 'Target', hostTarget, ... 'CommunicationType', 'TCPChannel', ... 'IPAddress', 'localhost', ... 'Port', '0')
