MATLAB Mobile 1.1 Released

It has been about 2 months since we introduced MATLAB Mobile and we are thrilled to see your interest through your comments on the Desktop blog, Facebook, and Twitter. Mike, myself, and many others thank you for your support and feedback.In response to a few of the enhancement requests, today we released MATLAB Mobile 1.1 which includes:

  • iOS 4 compatibility
  • Higher resolution images for iPhone 4
  • E-mail figures

Many new and exciting features are still brewing on Mike’s beloved Mac. Several of these features came directly from our conversations with you! So let us know about your MATLAB Mobile use cases so that upcoming features will streamline your workflow and empower you to revisit challenges where MATLAB accessibility was an issue.

Here are some of our favorite use cases thus far:

Using MATLAB Mobile with Datafeed Toolbox, fetch stock quotes and create your own MATLAB technical indicators on the go.

Using MATLAB Mobile with Instrument Control Toolbox, monitor your instrument measurements remotely for any unusual behavior. The signal being monitored here is from an Agilent oscilloscope.

Using MATLAB Mobile with Image Acquisition Toolbox and Image Processing Toolbox, retrieve latest snapshots from a live video stream. This snapshot is the latest construction scene at MathWorks that Steve mentioned in his post Goodbye Apple Hill 1!

Do the above use cases trigger a new application for you?

    Any plans for an Android version?

    For additional Android platform requests, please follow up in Mike’s first MATLAB Mobile post.

    Mike has exchanged several comments with users interested in an Android version.

    I just installed Matlab Mobile and the connector and I can execute commands, but I can not plot figures. I get the following error:
    Received figure fault
    GeneralServerFault from Connector

    Any ideas?

    @Pat

    One thing to try is restart MATLAB and MATLAB Connector. Reconnect and see if the issue was only an isolated instance.

    If the issue continues, please submit a support request here: http://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us/. Please provide your MATLAB version, iOS device/version, and reproduction steps so that we will be able to assist you further.

    I ran the “connector on” line, but received the following error message:

    ??? File “C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2007a\toolbox\connector\connector\connector.p” not recognizable as a P-file.

    My MATLAB is version 7.4.0.286 (R2007a).

    My iPhone iOS is version 4.0.2 (8A400).

    Please advice.

    Thanks

    For MATLAB Connector to function properly, you will need to use MATLAB versions R2009b or later. For more details on system requirements check out the following link:

    Any chance of video out – a great use for this is to show demos but need video out.

  8. Daniel replied on :

    @David

    Apple has connector kits which will allow you to get a VGA output that you can link to displays.

  9. Daniel replied on :

    @David

    Sorry, I misread your feedback. You are correct that we need to provide a video out in order to take advantage of Apple’s connector kits. Thank you for the suggestion!

    hi
    since i dont have an ios device im wondering if this software works independently or needs a pc or laptop connected to internet to send the commands from the device and give the results back from the matlab installed on pc?

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
