MATLAB uses the type definitions when you run a function residing on your
processor from MATLAB .
To Add a Ty
pedef to MATLAB
You use the DTM to add typedefs for MATLAB to recognize, such as:
• Typedefs that use a MAT L AB data type in the type definition
• Typedefs that use an enumerated or union data type in the type definition
• Typedefs that use a structure in the type definition
