Problems of integrating Matlab functions in Labview

[SSR_Nicholas]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to completely integrate Matlab functions into Labview program without a copy of Matlab in the system when I run the entire program?

Initially I used 'Mathscrip' node but I heard that it doesn't support Matlab toolbox.  Thus, I tried out the other option 'Matlab script' node. This node works well in implementing Matlab functions but it indeed requires Matlab installed in the system. 

So in other words, how could I realize the full integration(as what Matlab script node achieves.)  without Matlab installed in the system?   

Cheers,

Nicholas

Nick,

I would be cautious about entertaining to use MathScript.

I already owned 10 copies of MathScript as part of the NI Developer Suite.

However, MathScript was taken away from me as part of the LabVIEW 2009 Upgrade.

This happened even though all ten Serial Numbers were, and are now, currently on SSP.

Everybody that owns Developer Suite and MathScript and has a current SSP has had their MathScript taken away from them as part of LavVIEW 2009 upgrade.

They will need to repurchase MathScript again.

So I would suggest that you skip MathScript, especially if you are on a tight budget, and can not afford to repurchase it each time an update comes out.

You might have better luck if you purchase it by itself, and not as part of any other package.

I suggest that you also skip the SSP, especially for MathScript.

We had the SSP on our MathScript and it did us no good.

Call you local sales rep and maybe you can get some sympathy if you are a large enough customer.

Hi Nicholas,

There is no way to integrate a "full Matlab" integration into LabVIEW without installing Matlab.

You've already discovererd all possible solutions:

1. Use the MathScript node. Advantage: No need to install Matlab. "Disadvantage": Limited function support.

2. Use the Matlab Script node. Advantage: Full Matlab function support. "Disadvantage": You've to install Matlab.
