Description

Target Connect

The Target Connect block establishes a connection to a QUARC target. The name of the block is the name associated with the connection. Once a connection is established, the other dynamic reconfiguration blocks may be used to download code to the target, switch models on the target dynamically, etc. The connection is established when the model is started and closed when the model is terminated. Using connection names as an alias for the actual target URI allows the target URI to be changed in one place rather than in every block using the connection.

This block is part of the dynamic reconfiguration facilities of QUARC which allow running models to be swapped for another model on-the-fly. In particular, dynamic reconfiguration may be performed under the control of a supervisory model.

Models which will be dynamically reconfigured should have the Support dynamic reconfiguration option checked on the Code Generation/QUARC tab of the Configuration Parameters dialog.

Targets are identified by a Universal Resource Identifier (URI). QUARC uses URI's for all its communications because it provides a uniform, extensible and flexible means of identifying the communication protocol to use and the associated communication parameters. Refer to Universal Resource Identifiers for more information."

Input Ports

This block has no input ports.

Output Ports

This block has no output ports.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Target Connect

Target URI

The URI identifying the QUARC target to which to connect. For example, tcpip://quanser-dev:17000 connects to the remote host called quanser-dev using TCP/IP on port 17000.

Buffer size

The size of the buffer used for communications. This buffer is independent of any buffering in the underlying communication protocol. Increasing the buffer size may increase performance.
