UDP channel between matlab and Eclipse

How can I set up a UDP channel between Matlab and Eclipse that send some matlab's output for Eclipse ? I should write a server in Matlab and a client in eclipse . the client will ask for some data and the server will send that data to client .

any ideas how to do this ? any examples? I'm not familiar with Matlab or socket programming at all , please help !

You can use the udp() function of the Instrument Control Toolbox to set up the server. After that you use fread() or similar routines, and fwrite() or fprintf(). You might also end up setting up callbacks for automatic operation when data is received.

There is also a MATLAB File Exchange contribution tcpudpip that can be used instead of the Instrument Control Toolbox.

Is it possible to build a simulink model for send the data through UDP to eclipse ?

[Walter Roberson]

I believe there are Simulink function blocks for TCP and UDP as part of the Instrument Control Toolbox. Or there is

in which format should I send data so that I dont need to convert it again in eclipse?

I don't know enough about eclipse to answer that, but text seems likely to be the answer.
