angvellog

Return logged angular velocity data from iOS sensor

Syntax

[log, timestamp] = angvellog(m)

Description

[log, timestamp] = angvellog(m) returns the angular velocity log, where m is the name of the mobiledev object that acquires the sensor data, log is an m-by-3 matrix containing angular velocity data points, and timestamp is an m-by-1 vector of timestamps.

Examples

Get Logged Angular Velocity Data from Apple iOS Sensor

This example assumes that you have already installed and set up MATLAB^® Mobile™ on your iOS device and connected it to your computer running MATLAB. If you have not, see Install MATLAB Mobile on Your Apple iOS Device.

Start MATLAB Mobile on your iOS device.

On the Sensors screen, tap the Angular Velocity sensor.

Place the device where you want to get the sensor data.

On your computer, create a mobiledev object, m, in MATLAB.

m = mobiledev

Begin logging data by enabling the Logging property.

m.Logging = 1

This action starts the transmitting of data from all selected sensors. You can also start transmission by tapping the Start button in MATLAB Mobile.

Get the logged angular velocity data.

[av, t] = angvellog(m)

This returns the angular velocity log, where av contains the three data points in X, Y, and Z rotations, in radians per second.

See Device Orientation for a diagram showing the X, Y, and Z axes relative to the device.

Output Arguments

log — Name of variable for angular velocity log data

m-by-3 matrix

Name of variable for angular velocity log data, returned as an m-by-3 matrix of data points from the Angular Velocity sensor on the iOS device. The three data points are the angular velocity reading in X, Y, and Z rotations, in radians per second.

Angular velocity is defined in relation to the X, Y and Z axes and in standard right-hand rotational vector notation. If you place the device face-up on a table, the positive X-axis extends out of the right side of the device, positive Y-axis extends out of the top side, and the positive Z-axis extends out of the front face of the device. This is independent of the orientation of the device.

timestamp — Name of variable for timestamp

m-by-1 vector

Name of variable for timestamp, returned as an m-by-1 vector of timestamps from the Angular Velocity sensor on the iOS device. Time is in seconds, relative to the InitialTimestamp property.
