Target Framework
The Target Framework enables you to define target hardware characteristics and
integrate tools with MATLAB® and Simulink®. Using classes from the target namespace, capture target hardware or software platform
information for MathWorks software. You can use the information to:
Replicate target hardware behavior in model simulations.
Customize or optimize MathWorks product functionality for hardware and software platforms.
Integrate the target hardware with third-party or custom software tools.
For example, you can use the Target Framework to provide connectivity between Simulink and your target hardware for external mode and processor-in-the-loop (PIL) simulations.
