math interface toolkit install

[pierreh]

Hi,

Please is there any chance to download somewhere a trial of the math interface toolkit?

I want to use my VIs on matlab as a GUI, and I guess this is the tool to make it works...

Thanks, Pierre

Hello Pierre,

We do not provide a trial version of Math Interface Toolkit but I have installed it on my machine and tested its functionality for you.

It is used to convert a VI in to MEX-files consisting of a *.dll file and *.m file.

These are used to take the functionality of you block diagram and passes out the controls and indicators as variables.

As a result you will not be able to use this to use your VIs frontpanel in MatLab.

Sadly at present I don't believe that there is a toolkit that provides this kind of functionality that you are looking for.

Regards, Philip

Thanks for your reply.

I have downloaded few days ago the NI daq toolbox for matlab, available here online. And apparently it works like that, I mean it looks like I call the VI through *.dll and *.m files and open it in matlab. It appears as an executable of the VI.

Hello,

We use the Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox quite extensively... it has a few limitations as to the devices you can use and what capabilities of the devices it can use.  However it does allow very nice GUI creation as you hope.  To avoid the few limitations of the DAToolbox, the Math Interface Toolkit (MIT) is handy... however it only works with pre 2009 MATLAB.  We have seperate installs of 2008b just for this purpose. 

National Instruments are also just about to discontinue the MIT.

I installed evaluation version of Math interface toolkit to convert VI into Mex functions.

but the toolkit only allows me to make LNX functions, there is not Mex function tab.

I installed the evaluation version...and in the tools menu it says "math interface toolkit for xmath"  which I think is not the toolkit i'm looking for.

 I downloaded it from the link :

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2716  

I tried both links on the above page i.e  NI LabVIEW Math Interface Toolkit (MIT)  and NI LabVIEW Math Interface Toolkit. but both install it for xmath and only make LNX function.

where I can get the right toolkit?

Just a further note to those searching for MATLAB / NI Hardware integration - the 2011B MATLAB Data Acquisition Product has a session based interface which allows much more flexibility in the control of NI DAQs
