Note In general, the default values of these parameters are sufficient for you
to use xPC Target.
1 In the xPC Target Explorer, expand a target PC node.
A
Configuration node appears. Under this are nodes for Communication,
Settings, and Appearance. The parameters for the target PC node are
grouped in these categories.
2 Select Settings.
The
Settings Component pane appears to the right.
3 In the Target RAM size (MB) field, enter
-
Auto — The target kernel automatically attempts to determine the
amount of memory.
-
Manual — The amount of RAM, in MB, installed on the target PC.
This field defines the total amount of installed RAM in the target PC. The
RAM is used for the kernel, target application, data logging, and other
functions that use the heap.
4 From the Maximum model size list, select either 1 MB, 4 MB, or 16 MB.
Choosing the maximum model size reserves the specified amount of memory
on the target PC for the target application. The remaining memory is used
by the kernel and by the heap for data logging.
5 By default, the Support secondary IDE controller check box is not
selected. Select this check box only if you want to use the disks connected to
a secondary IDE controller. If you do not have disks connected to the
secondary IDE controller, do not select this check box.
6 In the xPC Target Hierarchy, select Appearance.
The
Appearance Component pane appears to the right.
