Please note that due to a change in circumstances and pressures of work, I am no longer an active developer on the Matlab platform and as such there will be no further updates to the submissions I have made.

I hope people still find some of my work useful and thanks to all those who have previously downloaded my submissions.

19 Nov 2009 degrees and radians Two helper functions, one converts degrees to radians, the other rads to deg. Author: Richard Medlock

Duane - yes you are probably correct, the original calculation however was done differently and was shorter. However, the benefit for me personally is two fold - 1) it makes it easier to troubleshoot the code because it's more readable and 2) repetitive calculations are generally best kept as functions which enable you to more easily find and replace them, and avoid mistakes in typing out duplicate code. But everyone has their own preferred way of doing things.
14 Aug 2009 Fix for DAQHWINFO Function to return separate correct lists of input and output soundcard boards. Author: Richard Medlock

Hi, thanks for your feedback - really pleased that it helped :)
14 Aug 2009 pickn Return P random picks of N items from an input vector A. Author: Richard Medlock

Hi, thanks for your feedback. This file was written well over 4 years ago (before you reviewed it) and at the time there was nothing available that did this. As with all my files they were simple (in my mind) solutions to achieve what I wanted and worked. I posted them in case anyone else found them useful. Perhaps you might consider that in future when rating (very!!) old submissions ;-)

How does this save time? Function calling overhead makes this computationally slower than direct multiplication. Typing the function call degrees(theta) is 14 keystrokes whereas 180/pi*theta is only 12 keystrokes. The same is true for typing radians(theta). So how does this save time?
