MATLAB

Is it possible to use the cronologic DAQ boards with MATLAB based software?

cronologic answer:

We provide a C API that can be used to receive a stream of timestamps in almost any programming language. Histogramming and other analysis of the timestamps can be programmed by the user in a few lines of code.

We do not provide a separate interface to MATLAB. Basically, our drivers are intended to be used either directly in C/C++ programs or, when used in other languages, with a C/C++ wrapper that provides the driver's functions in the respective language and converts the data to the respective data format.

Matlab probably offers several ways to use C++ classes. This seems to be a viable way, although it is not trivial.

Another possibility is demonstrated here.

By the way: For basic applications that are rarely called, there is another way to solve the problem as the driver of our measuring cards offers a tool which records the data into a .csv file. This can then be analyzed in MatLab or also Excel. However, the amount of data generated is quite large, so you have to make sure in your own code that the data is really processed in real-time.
