Capture Oscilloscope Traces with MatlabS. Durkin May 15, 2007Initial Setup (one time):Make a directory z:\Matlab_Scope. Copy the file: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~durkin/phys517/Matlab/phys517_Matlab_scopegui.zipinto this directory and extract the scripts into this directory using WinZip.Running Matlab Gui: 1) Run Matlab (All Programs->MATLAB->R2006b->MATLAB R2006b). 2) Using the desktop toolbar below change the current directory to z:\Matlab_Scope.3) At the Matlab command prompt type: ScopeGui. The following Gui should appear.4) Connect your scope serial cable is attached to Com1 on the PC. Required cable is socket-to-socket.5) Capture Ch1, Ch2, or both and put the scope in “stop” mode.6) The data can be exported to an Exel file (export excel), or one can plot the scope data, and perform various fits/transforms on the data (commands).Trouble Shooting:If the Gui fails connect to the scope, first check the serial cable and the com port it is connected to. If there are no problems, on the scope push the Utilities button, and then theRS232 setup. The settings should be baud:9600 , hardware flow control on, no
