==== Export_Data_To_Matlab ====

**THIS COMMAND DOES NOT WORK IN ANY VERSION OF MATLAB NEWER THAN Matlab R13. Use the [[#Export_Data_To_Matfile|Export_Data_To_Matfile]] command instead**

Visual3D will use DCOM to push signal directly in the Matlab Workspace without having to save the m-file. This command is different from [[#Put_To_Matlab|Put_To_Matlabe]] because it allows the data to be exported from all ACTIVE_FILES. This is possible because it uses a Matlab struct_array to store the data.\\


**Export_Data_To_Matlab**

|/MATLAB_ITEM_NAME=       |the name of the struct_array in Matlab                 |
|/SIGNAL_TYPES=            |the Visual3D Types                                     |
|/SIGNAL_NAMES=            |the Visual3D Names                                     |
|/SIGNAL_FOLDER=           |the Visual3D Folders                                   |
|/OUTPUT_NAMES=            |the names of the signal within the struct array        |
|/PARAMETER_GROUPS         |the C3D Parameter Group                                |
|/PARAMETER_NAMES=         |the C3D Parameter Name                                 |
|/OUTPUT_PARAMETER_NAMES=  |the Matlab name for the C3D Parameter                  |
|/USE_NAN_FOR_DATANOTFOUND=|DATANOTFOUND is the Visual3D name for a missing signal.|


For example, export 3 TARGETS (LFT1, LFT2, LFT3) from Visual3D to Matlab.

Invoke the Pipeline Edit Dialog

{{:Export_Data_To_Matlab_Dlg1.gif?600}}\\


Add the name of the Matlab struct array and the first TARGET. Select the Add Data button

{{:Export_Data_To_Matlab_Dlg2.gif?600}}\\


Add the remaining 2 signals

{{:Export_Data_To_Matlab_Dlg3.gif?600}}\\


The text version of the pipeline command should look like this:

**Export_Data_To_Matlab**

|/MATLAB_ITEM_NAME=          |TEST                      |
|/SIGNAL_TYPES=              |TARGET+TARGET+TARGET      |
|/SIGNAL_NAMES=              |LFT1+LFT2+LFT3            |
|/SIGNAL_FOLDER=             |ORIGINAL+ORIGINAL+ORIGINAL|
|/OUTPUT_NAMES=              |O_LFT1+O_LFT2+O_LFT3      |
|/PARAMETER_GROUPS           |                          |
|/PARAMETER_NAMES=           |                          |
|/OUTPUT_PARAMETER_NAMES=    |                          |
|/USE_NAN_FOR_DATA_NOT_FOUND=|TRUE                      |



Execute the command with 4 active files in the Visual3D Workspace.\\


Matlab should contain the following struct_array

» TEST

TEST =

ANALOG_VIDEO_FRAME_RATIO: {4x1 cell}
FRAME_RATE: {4x1 cell}
FILE_NAME: {4x1 cell}
  O_LFT1: {4x1 cell}
  O_LFT2: {4x1 cell}
  O_LFT3: {4x1 cell}
\\


» TEST.O_LFT1

ans =

[230x5 double]
[231x5 double]
[220x5 double]
[211x5 double]
