MATLAB Runtime Server

Chapter 1
Design Issues for a Runtime Application

This chapter discusses design issues that you should keep in mind while developing an application for runtime use. If you already have an application that you want to use with the Runtime Server, then this chapter can help you determine whether it needs any adaptations.

The following sections cover these issues:

• Preventing Command Window Input/Output describes how to make your application independent of the command window.
• Providing a Way to Exit the Application discusses a few additions that allow your end user to exit the application (and Runtime Server).
• Trapping Errors reviews the techniques for trapping errors in a Runtime Server application.
• Setting the Global Error Behavior on a PC explains how you can control the Runtime Server's response to untrapped errors.
• Setting the Global Warning Behavior on UNIX shows how to prevent the display of warning messages in the terminal window.
