Calling C functions in MATLAB

Hey,

I need to write a program in MATLAB which can call the C functions in a API ( http://spincore.com/support/spinapi/reference/production/2010-12-03/spinapi_8c.html)

The MATLAB program should be able to pass some parameters to the C functions specified in the API above. Basically, the MATLAB calls the C functions to interface a board and generate some arbitrary waveforms.

I have read something about the mex, mx or mxfunction stuff like that in order to call C in MATLAB, but since I am a new in MATLAB, I found it quite difficult and confused. Could you please give me some advices on how to start it?

Thanks.

This MEX-files Guide is a great place to get started. And here is the formal documentation. Note that the reference page for each MEX-API function also lists "Examples" at the bottom which takes you to example applications that provide more context for usage.
