File and File System Objects
xPC Target uses the xpctarget.ftp object to represent a target PC file, such
as a signal data file created by an xPC Target scope of type
file. Use this
object to perform file transfer operations on that file. xPC Target uses the
xpctarget.fs object to represent the target PC file system. Use this object to
perform file system manipulations.
Both
xpctarget.ftp and xpctarget.fs belong to the xpctarget.fsbase
object. This object encompasses the methods common to
xpctarget.ftp and
xpctarget.fs. xPC Target creates the xpctarget.fs base object when you
create either an
xpctarget.ftp or xpctarget.fs object.
