Matlab Binding

Matlab can be used as client for Tango. The matlabtango binding is installed in:

/usr/lib/matlabtango

If you don't have it in your computer ask for the installation.

For using it:

• Start matlab as usual
• Set binding paths:

  addpath('/usr/lib/matlabtango/mex-file')
  addpath('/usr/lib/matlabtango/m-files')
  addpath('/usr/lib/matlabtango/m-files/utils')
  addpath('/usr/lib/matlabtango/m-files/in-progess')
  addpath('/usr/lib/matlabtango/m-files/object-layer')
  addpath('/usr/lib/matlabtango/m-files/regression-test')
  

• Check that the binding works, for example, with:

  tango_ping('sys/database/2')
  

• Make the conexion to the Tango device you want to control, ex.:

  devtest=tango.Device('p10/timer/e2.01')
  

• Start working with the created device. Typing:

  devtest.
  

  you will see the list of the API for the Tango Device in matlab. For example, for getting an attribute:

  devtest.get_attribute('SampleTime')
  

  or reading its current value:

  devtest.get_attribute('SampleTime').read
