Setting MATLAB Component Preferences

You can choose the interface that the MATLAB component uses each time you first open it.

For more information, see Configuring the Java Socket Environment.

  1. From the Isight Design Gateway Edit menu, select Preferences.

    The Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Expand the Components folder on the left side of the dialog box, and select MATLAB.
  3. In the Drive MATLAB with list, select Java Socket.

    If you select Java Socket, a MATLAB Command text box appears.

    • If you leave the MATLAB Command text box empty, newly-created instances of the MATLAB component will run the instance of MATLAB specified by the environment variable MATLAB or by the Isight command-line argument fiper.comp.matlab.command. This is the typical configuration because it allows the component to use whichever MATLAB is available where the component is run (this is important when Isight is run in distributed mode).

    • If you want newly-created instances of the MATLAB component to run a version of MATLAB different from the one set in the environment, type the command in the text box or click Browse to navigate to the command.

    Note: If you are working in a Windows environment and MATLAB is installed on a network drive, enter the path to the MATLAB executable file in UNC format (e.g., \\testmachine\MATLAB\<MATLAB_Version>\bin\matlab.exe).

  4. Click OK to save your changes and to close the dialog box.
