MATLAB® and SIMULINK® Training

MATLAB® and SIMULINK® training provides comprehensive coverage on the significant features of modeling and simulation required to develop applications for embedded systems. Participants will be introduced to a new software technique to work with hardware, MATLAB® (Matrix Laboratory). The training explains the step-by-step procedure for modeling using top-down, bottom-up, and middle-out approaches. Using MATLAB®, trainees will learn about matrix manipulation, plotting of command and images, create graphical user interface (GUI), provide external interface through serial port. Simulink, a data flow graphical programming language tool, is also covered in the training curriculum.

Upon the completion of the training, you will be able to:

• Work in MATLAB® implementing the fundamentals of programming and complicated data structures including matrices, arrays and structures
• Write scripts in MATLAB®
• Create GUI an provide interface between MATLAB® script and GUI
• Establish external interface to the real world through serial port based on RS232 protocol
• Perform symbolic calculations
• Use MATLAB® editor and debugger
• Work on plot designing and create 2D, 3D, and scientific data based plots
• Build MATLAB® GUI using GUIDE tool
• Understand the fundamentals of Simulink and its interaction with MATLAB®
