View source for Controlling your SmartScope from Matlab

It is possible to configure all settings of the SmartScope from within Matlab, and to access all acquired data from within Matlab. 
<br>Data can be fetched and rendered to screen as shown below at '''65fps on a regular laptop'''.

=Prerequisited=
Controlling the SmartScope from within Matlab will only work on Windows running MATLAB R2013 or later.
=Download the Matlab scripts=
Start by downloading the matlab repository from [https://github.com/labnation/DeviceInterface.Matlab our Github pages]. Either clone the repository, or click the ‘Download ZIP’ button to download all files without any hassle. 
=Running the scripts=
This should give you two files:
* SmartScopeConnect.m: start by running this script, which will connect to, and configure the SmartScope.
* SmartScopePlot.m: contains basic code which fetches the latest data from the SmartScope and draws it on the screen
The files themselves also contain some explanation, which is listed below.
== SmartScopeConnect.m==

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% SmartScopeConnect - Connects and initializes the SmartScope using Matlab
%
% Prerequisites:
% - make sure the latest SmartScope software has been installed on this machine
% - make sure the first line of code refers to the correct location of LabNation.DeviceInterface.dll
% - make sure no other program is currently accessing the SmartScope
% - make sure a SmartScope is attached to this machine
%
% Usage:
% - just run the thing and you'll hear the SmartScope click hello
% - now hook up a 10kHz signal to ChA
% - run SmartScopePlot to see the results visualized in a graph
%
% Good to know:
% - you can only link to the .NET assembly and scope once (Matlab limitation). Therefore, that code is enclosed inside the if clause below
%
% Tested on Matlab R2014a_64b+Windows8_64b

== SmartScopePlot.m==
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% SmartScopePlot - Fetches a couple of data sequences from the SmartScope
% and plots them in a graph. Also grabs some timing parameters.
%
% Prerequisites:
% - make sure SmartScopeConnect was executed succesfully first
%
% Usage:
% - just run this script
% - if 5000 frames are too much, hit Ctrl+C
%
% Good to know:
% - after running this script, type 'scope'
%   to see which parameters are exposed by the scope
% - after running this script, type 'scope.DataSourceScope.LatestDataPackage'
%   to see which parameters are exposed by the most recently acquired
%   datapackage
