Incorporating M-code into Simulink Models

Simulink 6 has expanded the ways you can incorporate M-code into your models. Learn about the different methods of using M-code when modeling dynamic systems for simulation and code generation and how to choose the appropriate block for your application.

Deploying a Measurement Application with the MATLAB Compiler

The MATLAB Compiler 4 enables you to deploy standalone applications that use MATLAB objects such as those provided by the Data Acquisition Toolbox . This example demonstrates how to use the MATLAB Compiler to create a cable-testing application and deploy it to a target machine.

Optimization with MATLAB and the Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox

The genetic algorithm and direct search method are useful for problems that are difficult to solve with traditional techniques. This example shows how to apply these methods to a challenging optimization problem.
