Working with Scope Objects

Setting the Value of a Scope Property

With the xPC Target software you can use either a function syntax or an

object property syntax. The syntax

set(scope_object, property_name,

new_property_value)

can be replaced by

scope_object(index_vector).property_name = new_property_value

Forexample,tochangethetriggermodeforthescopeobjectsc1,

• In the MATLAB window, type

sc1.triggermode = 'signal'

• Alternatively, you can type

set(sc1,'triggermode', 'signal')

sc1.set('triggermode', 'signal')

Note that you cannot use dot n o tation to set vector object properties. To assign

properties to a vector of scopes, use the

set method. For example, assume

you have a variable

sc12 for two scopes, 1 and 2.TosettheNumSamples

property o f these scopes to 300,

1 In the MATLAB window, type

set(sc12,'NumSamples',300)

To get a list of the writable p roperties, type set(scope_object).

Note Method names a re case sensitive. You must type the entire name.

Property names are not case sensitive. You do not need to type the entire

name as long as the characters you do type are unique for the property.
