Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver

Object oriented solution for Shimmer sensor data capture directly into Matlab

Description

Object oriented solution for Shimmer data capture directly into MATLAB. Provides for full configuration functionality to set features such as sampling rate, accelerometer range and which sensors are enabled/disabled. Also provides solutions for low battery warning and 3D orientation estimation. Allows for simultaneous data capture of both raw data and calibrated data from multiple Shimmer units. Includes example .m scripts which demonstrate the use of the ShimmerHandle class including plotting of data and writing data to a file. Includes documentation and help info.

• Required Products: MATLAB
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 8.0 (R2012b)
• Other requirements: Realterm version 2.0.0.57

Hi Yasmin,
The error occurred because User Account Control settings were not set appropriately.

Best Regards.

I have opened the realtime serial program and under PORT tab I changed my port# to 7. It started working but with new errors:
>> plotandwriteexample('7', 30, 'testdata.dat')
Warning: Timed-out on wait for acknowledgment byte on Shimmer COM7.
Warning: Inquiry command response expected but not returned for Shimmer COM7.
Warning: Timed-out on wait for acknowledgment byte on Shimmer COM7.
Warning: Timed-out on wait for acknowledgment byte on Shimmer COM7.

Warning: Failed to receive response from Shimmer inquiry for COM7, disconnecting Shimmer.

Thanks a lot for the m-files. I having some errors while running them. I pasted my error below:

I would like to add that I have downloaded the realterm app.

Please advise regarding the error, why is it appearing? how to fix it and make it work? Thanks a lot in advance.
