Introduction
The xPC Targ et so ftw are has a Web serve r that allows you to interact with
your target application through a Web bro wse r. You can acces s the Web
browser with either a TCP/IP or serial (RS-232) connection.
The xPC Target Web server is built into the kernel that allows you to interact
with your target application using a Web browser. If the target P C is
connected to a network, you can use a Web browser to interact with the target
application from any host PC connected to the network.
Connecting the Web Inter face 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.
TheTCP/IPstackonthexPCTargetkernel supports only one simultaneous
connection, because its main o bjective is real-time applications. This
connection is shared between the MATLAB interface and the Web browser.
Youmustcloseanyopenconnectiontothe target PC before you connect using
the host PC Web browser. This also means that only one browser or the
MATLAB interface is able to connect at one time.
