Working with the Target Language

2-36

When calling MATLAB, these conversions are made:

When values are returned from MATLAB, they are converted as follows:

Other value types are not currently supported.

As an example, this statement uses the

FEVAL built-in function to call MATLAB

to take the sine of the input argument.

%assign result = FEVAL( "sin", 3.14159 )

Note: The FEVAL function is only available from the MATLAB command line

version of the Target Language Compiler. It is not available from the shell

version. Use the

STAND_ALONE predefined value to determine if FEVAL is

available to you.

TLC Type MATLAB Type

"Boolean"

"Number" or “Real”

Double Scalar

"String" Char Vector

"Vector"

If the vector is entirely strings, then Char Matrix. If

it is entirely numeric, then

Double Vector.

Otherwise, it is an error.
