External Mode GUI
The Real-Time Workshop provides an extensive graphical user interface (GUI),
which includes four separate windows, that supports a wide variety of features
in external mode. The four windows include the following:
• External Mode Control Panel
• External Target Interface dialog box
• External Signal & Triggering dialog box
• External Data Archiving dialog box
The next sections discuss each of these in turn. Although some of these features
were discussed in “Getting Started with External Mode Using grt” on page 4-4,
the following sections go into much greater detail.
External Mode Control Panel
You can use external mode with your target, providing an external interface
MEX-file exists that communicates with your target system. To configure
external mode, open the
External Mode Control Panel.
The
External Mode Control Panel allows you to navigate through the various
features supported by external mode.
These buttons control the
connection between host and
target.
This check box and button
control the timing of
parameter downloads.
These buttons configure
external mode target interface,
signal properties, and data
archiving. Each button brings
up a dialog box.
