xPC Control

Once the code has been loaded onto the target, the code can be controlled in 2 ways:

1. via Command Window or
2. through the Web interface

Command Window Control

The table below gives some of the main xpc functions that can be used to control the target. For a complete list of functions type methods(xpc) in Matlab, or refer to the documentation.

Web Interface Control

Alternatively, xPC can be controlled from the host using a web interface.

IMPORTANT: To set up the host PC for web interface use, the command xpcwwwenable must be executed first.

Open up a web browser and go to address: http://<TcpIpAddressName>:<TcpIpTargetPort>/ (e.g. for Renshaw, use http://132.206.111.69:22222/ )

The left-hand frame displays the status window and function list, and the main window displays the selected view. The image below shows a Screen Shot, which is what Renshaw would be displaying on its monitor.

Starting and stopping the code can be controlled through this interface, as well as displaying scopes and altering block parameters. The screen shot below shows the Parameters interface.Any parameter, such as gain blocks, can be modified in this manner.
