Interfacing with 3rd party software - Matlab - older versions

All TiePie engineering measuring instruments can work in close collaboration with the MathWorks Matlab software. This provides the opportunity to perform instant processing on the acquired data, rather than first storing the measurements to disk, import them in Matlab and finally do your calculations.

Since Matlab versions older than 6.5 do not have direct support for DLLs, a little workaround is needed. Matlab requires a MEX file and this MEX file can be created by the user through Matlab from C code. For help on creating a MEX file, type in the Matlab Command Window:

help mex

For the Handyscope HS3 currently a .c file is available that can be compiled in older Matlab versions to create the necassary MEX file. Refer to the programmers manual in the download section to list the functions that are available in the DLL.

After the MEX file has been created, the 4 .hex files that came with the driver of your measuring instrument should be copied to your $Matlab\Bin\Win32 subfolder, where $Matlab is your Matlab root folder.
