Web Interface
xPC Target has a Web server build in the TCP/IP mode to the kernel that
allows you to interact your target application using a Web browser. If the
target PC is connected to a network, you can use a Web browser to interact with
the target application from any computer connected to a network
Currently this feature is limited to Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 4.0 or
later) and Netscape Navigator (version 4.5 or later) are the supported
browsers.
This section includes the following sections:
•

•Changing WWW Properties
•Viewing Signals with the Web Browser
•Using Scopes with the Web Browser
•Viewing and Changing Parameters with the Web Interface
•Changing Access Levels to the Web Browser
Connecting the Web Interface through TCP/IP
If your host PC and target PC are connected with a network cable, you can
connect the target application on the target PC to a Web browser on the host
PC.
The TCP/IP stack on the xPC Target kernel supports only one simultaneous
connection, since its main objective is real-time applications. This connection
is shared between MATLAB and the Web browser. This also means that only
one browser or MATLAB is able to connect at one time.
Before you connect your Web browser on the host PC, you must load a target
application onto the target PC. The target application does not have to be
running, but it must be loaded. Also, your browser must have JavaScript and
StyleSheets turned on.
