A Producing a COM Object from MATLAB
Over view of Internal Processes
MATLAB Builder for Excel lets you pass M icrosoft E xcel worksheet values
to a compiled MATLAB model via VBA, and return model output to a cell
or range of cells in the w orksheet.
Each Excel Builder component is built as a stand-alone COM object. Each
MATLAB function included in a given component appears as a m e tho d of
the created COM class. The resulting call syntax from VB is systematically
mapped to the syntax of the original M ATLAB. This mapping provides a
bridge fro m MATLAB, where the functions are created, to VB, where the
functions are ultimately called.
The following conceptual diagram illustrates the process:
