Accessing Help for Target Objects
See “Function Reference” and “Functions” for a reference of the target object
functions.
The target application object methods allow you to control a target application
on the target PC from the host PC. You enter target application object
methods in the MATLA B window on the host PC or use MATLA B code scripts.
To access the help for these m ethods, use the syntax
help xpctarget.xpc/method_name
If you want to control the target application from the target PC, use target PC
commands. See Chapter 8, “Using the Target PC Command-Line Interface”.
