Exporting a Controller

To export a controller, do one of the following:

• Select the MPC/Export menu option.
• Select Controllers in the tree and click its Export button.
• In the tree, right-click Controllers and select the Export Controller menu option.
• In the tree, right-click the controller you want to export and select the Export Controller menu option.

The MPC Controller Exporter dialog box opens (see example below). The following sections describe its options:

• Dialog Box Options
• Buttons

  

Dialog Box Options

The following sections describe the dialog box options.

Controller source

Use this to select the project/task containing the controller to be exported. It defaults to the project/task most recently active.

Controller to export

Use this to specify the controller to be exported. It defaults to the controller most recently selected in the tree.

Name to assign

Use this to assign a valid MATLAB^® variable name (no spaces). It defaults to the selected controller's name (with spaces removed, if any).

Export to MATLAB workspace

Select this option if you want the controller to be exported to the MATLAB workspace.

Export to MAT-file

Select this option if you want the controller to be exported to a MAT-file.

Buttons

Export

If you've selected the Export to MATLAB workspace option, clicking Export causes a new MPC object to be created in your MATLAB workspace. (If one having the assigned name already exists, you'll be asked if you want to overwrite it.) You can use the MATLAB whos command to verify that the controller has been exported.

If you've selected the Export to MAT-file option, clicking Export opens a standard file chooser that allows you to specify the file.

In either case, the dialog box remains visible, allowing you to export additional controllers.

Close

Click Close to close the dialog box. You can also click the Close icon on the title bar.
