Introduction
This interface is useful with stand-alone applications that are not connected
to the host PC. You can type commands directly from a keyboard on the target
PC. As you start to type at the keyboard, a command window appears on
the target PC screen.
For a complete list of target PC com mands, refer to “Target PC Commands”
on page 16-2
Using Target Application Methods on the Tar get PC
The xPC Target software uses an object-oriented env ironment on the host PC
with methods and properties. While thetargetPCdoesnotusethesame
objects, many of the methods on the host PC have equivalent target PC
commands. The target PC commands are case sensitive, but the arguments
are not.
After you have created and downloaded a target application to the target PC,
you can use the target PC commands to run and test your application:
1 On the target PC, press C.
The target PC command window is activated, and a command line opens.
If the command window is already activated, do not press C .Inthiscase,
pressing C is taken as the first letter in a command.
