Matlab
Software
Development
Kit
The nanoZ Matlab SDK allows users to program customized nanoZ applications
that are not supported by the bundled Windows program.
To use the Matlab SDK you should have a licensed copy of Matlab installed on
the host PC (version 2006a or later) and have the nanoZ SDK installed (refer to
the Software Installation section of this User Manual).
nanoz
MEX
library
MATLAB applications can access the nanoZ through the ʻnanozʼ MEX files. Four
versions are provided, one each for 32- and 64-bit versions of Matlab running
under Windows (ʻnanoz.mexw32ʼ and ʻnanoz.mexw64ʼ, respectively) and Mac
OS X (ʻnanoz.mexmaciʼ and ʻnanoz.mexmaci64ʼ, respectively).
A MEX file can contain only one Matlab function, and because the nanoZ SDK
provides multiple functions, the actual function names are passed as the first
argument when calling the ʻnanozʼ gateway function. The following syntax is used
for all function calls:
[<output>] = nanoz('function name', arg1, arg2, ... argN);
The function name is not case sensitive and can be one of the following:
Name Purpose
getversion Returns the version of the nanoZ MEX file
enumdevs Enumerates attached nanoZ devices
open Opens a free nanoZ device for access by other functions
close Closes an opened nanoZ device, releases system resources
getdeviceversion Returns hardware and firmware information for the open device
selectchannel Selects a channel
setfreq Sets the test frequency for impedance measurements
startimpmetering Starts impedance measurement
getimpdata Retrieves impedance measurement data
getwaveformcaps Returns information about the waveform generation capabilities
