Data Acquisition Toolbox

Using the Documentation Examples

When you encounter examples or code snippets in this book, you might want to try them for yourself. An easy way to do this is to cut the relevant text from the PDF or HTML versions of this guide and paste it into the MATLAB workspace. You access the PDF and HTML content with the Help browser.

Some examples are constructed as mini-applications that illustrate one or two important toolbox features, and serve as templates so you can see how to build applications that suit your specific needs. These examples are included as toolbox M-files and are treated as demos. You can list all Data Acquisition Toolbox demos by typing

• help daqdemos
  

All documentation example M-files begin with daqdoc. To run an example, type the M-file name at the command line. Note that most examples are written for specific hardware devices. To use these examples with your hardware device, you should modify the creation function input arguments and the device object property values as needed.
