12 Oct 2005 13:23 matlab read serial binary

HAI!!!
I need an opinion on:-
1) how MATLAB received the binary data from serial port...

2) Let say MATLAB has already received the binary data. Now, my question is:
IS MATLAB automatically save the data in database or Do I need to create my own database:?:

I'm still new in MATLAB:cry:, so I hope there is some one who could help me regarding to this matter.

Thanks in advance,

NIDA

20 Nov 2005 13:20 how to read binary serial data in matlab

Hi

In MATLAB you can define a serial object, open it and read and write data from it using fread and fwrite.
Here is an example:

s = serial('com1');
s.BaudRate = 57600;
s.FlowControl = 'hardware';
s.Timeout = 1000;
s.OutputBufferSize = 1000;
fopen(s);
fwrite(s, a , 'uchar');
b = fread(s,1,'int8');

Regards
