Thread Subject: matlab fwrite error

i have created that function, but matlab gives me the following error

[B]??? Error using ==> fwrite
Invalid precision.[/b]

when i called the fwrite. How could i resolve this problem?

Try FPRINTF instead of FWRITE.

thank you, now it works. Could you explain me, why it doesn't work with fwrite?

The fwrite function writes raw binary data- it doesn't accept a format
string like frpintf does. help fwrite will give you an explanation of
what fwrite does.
