Description

Use the target.TargetConnection class, which inherits functionality from target.Connection, to provide details about connecting your MATLAB® computer to target hardware. For example, the communication channel and connection properties that are required for communication with your target hardware.

To create a target.TargetConnection object, use the target.create function.

This code from Set Up PIL Connectivity by Using target Package shows how to specify the connection between your development computer and target hardware. In the example, the target application runs on your development computer as a separate process and uses a TCP communication channel through localhost.

connection = target.create('TargetConnection');
connection.Name = 'Host Process Connection';
connection.Target = hostTarget;
connection.CommunicationChannel = target.create('TCPChannel');
connection.CommunicationChannel.Name = 'External Process TCPCommunicationChannel';
connection.CommunicationChannel.IPAddress = 'localhost';
connection.CommunicationChannel.Port = '0';
