A target interface is a mechanism for communicating with and controlling a target. A target can be either a physical hardware device or a software simulation of a device. CrossStudio has a targets window for viewing and manipulating target interfaces. For more information on the targets window, see Targets window.

Before you can use a target interface, you must connect to it. You can only connect to a single target interface at any one time. For more information on connecting target interfaces, see Connecting to a target.
