FAQ; EVAL-ADIS Software Development Tools, Matlab

Q:

Do you have an API for writing my own data collection routines with the EVAL-ADIS?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A:

While this is not a feature that we market or officially support for the EVAL-ADIS system, we can share a .NET assembly file, which will enable code development with the VB.NET suite of development tools.  This attachment also contains some Matlab code examples for porting EVAL-ADIS data directly into the Matlab Workspace.  Please see the attached zip file for all of the supporting files. Here are a few notes:

• 32-bit Matlab versions only
• .NET 3.5 Framework
• EvalAdisApi.dll = .NET Assembly file
• EvalAdisApiConvertOutputStream = Converting outputted data (binary or csv) into Matlab
• EvalAdisApiScript = original file I sent you without streaming
• EvalAdisApiStreamScript.m and RunStream.m = Streaming Matlab Scripts. Separated so if user presses (Ctrl+C), stream becomes canceled. Ctrl+C is common/standard way for Matlab programmers to cancel scripts.

Here is an example of how the Matlab example will update progress on a data capture, using the command prompt.

Streaming Setup Using Data Ready Is Correct

Stream Started at 20-Mar-2013 16:58:36

Estimated Amount of Streaming Time (HH:MM:SS) = 11:16:4.000000e+001

Estimated Finish Time = 21-Mar-2013 04:15:16
