This page will walk you through configuring the Matlab/NeXtMidas interface. After completing this tutorial, you will be able to make NeXtMidas commands and talk directly to ICE-PIC cards from Matlab. This document assumes that you have followed the guide on setting up the [[Matlab_Option_Tree_Tutorial|Matlab Option Tree]], that you have Matlab installed, and that you're using a Red Hat distribution of Linux.

== Matlab Configuration ==
Since we have already setup the NeXtMidas environment in [[Matlab_Option_Tree_Tutorial|this tutorial]], we simply need to tell Matlab where the Matlab Option Tree scripts are located. By default, they are located in the directory:

/opt/ice/pkg/nextmat/mat/

Therefore, we need to add '/opt/ice/pkg/nextmat/mat/' to the Matlab path. We can do this permanently with the following steps:

# Click on the 'HOME' tab
# Click 'Set Path'
# Click 'Add Folder'
# Navigate to the 'mat' folder in the NeXtMidas Matlab Option tree (i.e. /opt/ice/pkg/nextmat/mat/)
# Click 'OK'
# Click 'Save'
# Click 'Close'

'''Note:''' These instructions were derived using Matlab R2013b (8.2.0.701). The procedure to add a path may be slightly different in other versions.

== Running Example Scripts ==
We have provided some scripts in the 'examples' directory of the Matlab Option Tree. Let's enter the examples directory and look at the files:

>> cd /opt/ice/pkg/nextmat/examples
>> ls
mat2nxm_example.m nxm2mat_example.m picacq_example.m picplay_example.m

Run the mat2nxm example (which doesn't require a PIC card):

>> cd /opt/ice/pkg/nextmat/examples
>> mat2nxm_example

If you have a PIC card installed, you may wish to run one of the PIC examples. Note that the picacq and picplay examples might not work out of the box: you might have to change the PIC card and module ports to reflect your setup. The picacq example assumes that there is a module capable of acquisition on 'module1' of 'pic1'. The picplay example assumes that there is a module capable of playback on 'module2' of 'pic1'. Let's launch the playback example:

>> cd /opt/ice/pkg/nextmat/examples
>> picplay_example

You will now see the 'snapapp' GUI appear. To start playback, click the 'RTPlayback' button. You should see two tones: one at 2.5 MHz and one at 4.75 MHz. To stop playback hit the 'Exit' button.
