Description

This Speedgoat API function provides step-by-step instructions to obtain the target authentication info file which may be required to obtain an authentication from Speedgoat.

The function must be used if you encounter the "failed target authentication" message. It will give you the target authentication info file. You will then be asked to provide this file directly to Speedgoat Support, along with a picture of the target machine's label, so that Support can provide you with a "serial file".

Examples

Get the file from the default target machine:

speedgoat.getTargetAuthentication

Get the file from a specific target machine using the target name (e.g. 'TargetPC1'):

speedgoat.getTargetAuthentication('TargetName', 'TargetPC1')

Get the file from a specific target machine using the target object (e.g. tg):

speedgoat.getTargetAuthentication('TargetObject', tg)

Input Arguments

Name-Value Pair Arguments: 'TargetName' - Target machine name [character vector]. The name of the target machine you want to use.

'TargetObject' - Target object [target object]. The target object of the target machine you want to use.

Notes

This function requires an Ethernet connection to your Speedgoat real-time target machine. If no 'TargetObject' or 'TargetName' argument is given to the function, the default target is used. Moreover, the 'TargetObject' argument takes precedence: if both arguments are supplied, 'TargetName' will therefore be ignored.
