save
Save instrument objects and variables to MAT file
Description
save filename
saves all MATLAB® variables to the MAT file filename
. If an extension
is not specified for filename
, then a .mat
extension is used.
save filename obj1 obj2 ...
saves the
instrument objects obj1 obj2
... to the MAT file
filename
.
Examples
Input Arguments
| The MAT file name. |
| Instrument objects or arrays of instrument objects. |
Tips
You can use save
in the functional form as well as the command form
shown above. When using the functional form, you must specify the filename and
instrument objects as character vectors. For example, on a Windows® machine, save the serial port object s
to the file
MySerial.mat
,
s = serial('COM1'); save('MySerial','s')
Any data that is associated with the instrument object is not automatically stored in
the MAT file. For example, suppose there is data in the input buffer for
obj
. To save that data to a MAT file, you must bring the data
into the MATLAB workspace using one of the synchronous read functions, and then save the
data to the MAT file using a separate variable name. You can also save data to a text
file with the record
function.
You return objects and variables to the MATLAB workspace with the load
command. Values for read-only
properties are restored to their default values upon loading. For example, the
Status
property is restored to closed
. To
determine if a property is read-only, examine its reference pages or use the propinfo
function.
