Using ADD definitions in Matlab
 |
ADD provides an interface to the product Matlab/Simulink of the company The MathWorks. This interface/link allows to: export ADD data (data objects) into the Matlab workspace
use these data objects in Simulink
work offline from the ADD database
edit the data objects offline with the ADD Offline Editor

Visu-IT! has been accepted into The MathWorks Connection Program with ADD. ADD is listed at the connection program web page on the MathWorks web site at:

Overview
Exporting ADD data objects into the Matlab workspace is quite easy:
The services "vitDDX2WS" (cf. ?) and "vitWS2DDX" (cf. ?) represent the gateway between ADD and Matlab.
The "ADD to Matlab - Form" is used to directly import an ADD Container into the Matlab Workspace.
There are two different ways to open the form:

There are two different ways to open the form:
Open the form by selecting the "Visu-IT!" - block in the Matlab Simulink Library Browser
Easily start the import dialog from Matlab Command window
How to start the export from ADD to Matlab
1. Open "Import ADD Container" using Matlab Simulink Library Browser
After opening Matlab Simulink Library Browser the "Visu-IT!" - block (cf. ?) must be selected.
By double clicking on the appearing "Import ADD Container" - block (cf. ?) the import dialog will be automatically opened.
As a great benefit of this loading style the "Import ADD Container" - block can be handled as any other Simulink block. Hence "Drag & Drop" is possible.
2. Open "Import ADD Container" using Matlab Command Window
Service call: vitADD2MATLAB();
In Matlab Command Window type "vitADD2MATLAB()" to open import interface.
To check the quality of the started import it is necessary to define return values, e.g.:
[result error_string] = vitADD2MATLAB();
result = vitADD2MATLAB();
At this junction result denotes a successful ('1') or aborted ('0') import as a logical value. In case of an aborted run the char array error_string describes the error.
