4-15

The program continues with

Type 0 <return> to Exit

Type 1 <return> to continue

Entering 1 at the prompt continues the program execution.

MATLAB computed the following distances:

time(s) distance(m)

1.00 -4.90

2.00 -19.6

3.00 -44.1

4.00 -78.4

5.00 -123.

6.00 -176.

7.00 -240.

8.00 -314.

9.00 -397.

10.0 -490.

Finally, the program frees memory, closes the MATLAB engine, and exits.

Attaching to an Existing MATLAB Session

You can make a MATLAB engine program attach to a MATLAB session that is

already running by starting the MATLAB session with

/Automation in the

command line. When you make a call to

engOpen, it will then connect to this

existing session. You should only call

engOpen once, as any engOpen calls will

now connect to this one MATLAB session.

The

/Automation option also causes the command window to be minimized.

You must open it manually.

Note For more information on the /Automation command line argument and

ActiveX in general, see “Introducing MATLAB ActiveX Integration” on

page 7-3.
