External Matlab function calling problem under Labview 7.1

[Judge1108]

Hi,

I meet problem when I want to call my m.file function in the Matlab script under Labview 7.1, that labview seems not able to find that external Matlab function. I've searched on this forum, someone talked about setting search path in tool->option->Matlab search path, but it seems this does not exist in the version 7.1.

Is there any way to solve this in version 7.1 or is updating to newest version the only solution?

Thanks

Hello,

I think you are confusing the LabVIEW MathScript node and the MATLAB® script node.  The MathScript node was introduced in LabVIEW 8.0 and the search path setting you are referring to is for MathScript, which is why it does not exist in LabVIEW 7.1.  Look at the Lorenz differential equation example for the MATLAB script node.  It shows how to set the search path to be relative to the VI.  The example is located in examples\scriptnode\MATLAB script node - Lorenz Diff Eq.vi.
