Bluetooth Control Logic Design with Stateflow
The Bluetooth Voice Transmission article in the November 2001 edition of the MATLAB Digest described how Simulink could be used to design and simulate the physical layer of this new wireless networking technology. It described a Simulink model of one-way voice transmission from a master device to a slave device for three different packet types. This second Bluetooth article focuses on designing the control logic aspects of Bluetooth using Stateflow ...

Creating a Stewart Platform Model Using SimMechanics
SimMechanics, in conjunction with Simulink and MATLAB, enables engineers to model complicated mechanical systems, simulate and analyze the models, and develop controllers for the mechanical system. In this technical example, we examine how to use SimMechanics to model physical components, synthesize controllers, and simulate the closed loop performance of a Stewart Platform, a six degrees-of-freedom positioning system. Stewart Platforms are used in many applications...

Emulating the Centronics Protocol in MATLAB
This article describes how you use MATLAB and the Data Acquisition Toolbox to
emulate the Centronics protocol commonly used to communicate with parallel port
devices. The Centronics protocol is a set of rules that dictate the exchange of
signals between a host and client device. This protocol ensures that information
is passed in a correct and timely manner. With the Data Acquisition Toolbox
providing the connectivity layer...

Accelerating MATLAB: the MATLAB JIT-Accelerator
Fourth-generation computer languages (4GL) offer tremendous ease-of-use and
productivity benefits. However, certain types of code have typically executed
more quickly using third-generation languages (3GLs), such as C, C++, Fortran,
and Basic. The MathWorks has developed technology that combines the ease-of-use
of a 4GL with the fast performance of a 3GL. The MATLAB JIT-Accelerator, introduced
in MATLAB 6.5, includes several technological innovations that accelerate the
execution of MATLAB code...
