Syntax

plcrunextmode(opc_host,target_ide,mdl_name,log_file)
plcrunextmode(___,idx_list)
plcrunextmode(___,name_list)

Description

plcrunextmode(opc_host,target_ide,mdl_name,log_file) runs external mode visualization using the settings specified in the arguments. Logged signals are displayed in the Simulation Data Inspector.

example

plcrunextmode(___,idx_list) runs external mode visualization and displays only the logged signals identified by the indices in the idx_list.

plcrunextmode(___,name_list) runs external mode visualization and displays only the logged signals identified by the names in the name_list.

Examples

The following example uses plcrunextmode to connect to an OPC server and stream log data in to Simulation Data Inspector.

plcrunextmode ('localhost', 'studio5000', 'ext_demo1', 'plc_log_data.mat');

Input Arguments
