Yes. WRI has developed a free MATLAB-Mathematica interface. It is available via anonymous ftp from mathsource.wri.com as /pub/WhatsNew/matlab2math.tar.Z (Unix) or /pub/WhatsNew/matlab2math.sea.hqx (Mac) or /pub/WhatsNew/matlab2math.zip (Windows) ? or via email via "send 0205-951" to mathsource@wri.com.

The 10-pin header next to the dip switches is a 2nd serial port. You can hook this up to your PC's serial port (with a null modem), and get connectivity that way, utilizing the 'qtalk' app on the i-opener. This seems to support zmodem, but the i-opener doesn't seem to have the sz/rz binaries. If it did (or if you can find/FTP them), it might make an easy way to transfer files to/from your PC.

Unfortunately I can't. The RS232 is only used to provide information to the Sky Gnome, and to take input from the Sky Gamepads. There is no way to control the sky box using it's serial port, but fortunately you can use our range of serial and USB controllers to control your Sky box.

The PAUM002 only has PS/2 and USB connections. Standard or 3rd party PS/2 to Serial port adapters may cause detection problems and we do not recommend using them. A utility file is available on our website (www.targus.com/support), which will allow you to use the second mouse button and the screen scroller features on your MAC computer. My mouse doesn’t respond correctly anymore - After changing the port it’s plugged into, my mouse doesn’t respond the way it used to.

RS232 is a standard for serial communication over a short distance. The signal is converted to +/- 12 volts for logic "1" and "0" respectively.

There are many factors that can cause a printer to print slowly from an Operating System, Application. However, there is a small setting in the Lipi Windows 95/98 drivers that may improve the printer's performance. The Lipi Drivers have a default printing matrix set to 360 x 360 dpi (dot per inch) resolution. This resolution value can be reduced easily to 180 x 180 without creating print quality reductions. This 180 x180 resolution will increase the printing speed of each character.

There are two functions, called write_xps and read_xps in the xps_library directory, they are what you want. They are in the path, so you can use them directly.

Yes, because the SignaLink doesn't require a connection to the computer's serial port! Unlike other interfaces, the SignaLink never requires a serial port connection. This is particularly handy if your computer doesn't happen to have one! In addition to simplifying your installation, this feature also reduces the likelihood of the computer's RF noise getting into your radio. It also eliminates serial port related transmit problems that plague other interfaces.

The serial port should be located on the back of your computer. An example of a serial port image is provided here.

Answer: Yes. You will need our USB connector from Agrowsoft if you with to use the USB port. You will need no additional connectors if you use a standard RS232 serial computer port. Answer: You can set up the software so that it sends text messages with both Alerts and a periodic "push" of current conditions. You specify the time interval (for example every 60 minutes). Your environments will be checking in with you rather that you having to check in on them!

No. The serial port and gameport are totally different. Even if you could find a physical adapter they would still not be compatible electronically.

USB to Serial Support - Use a direct/single USB to serial cable, and stay away from multi-port "hubs". Unplug the serial cable to the weather station when changing PC connections, like from serial jack to USB jack. Power down the weather station before connecting the serial cable.

Yes but you must purchase a USB to Serial converter. We have the IOGEAR USB to Serial Port Adapter Model GUC232A available under RIGblaster Accessories. All of the software was written for serial port control so it will not work directly with a USB port. With the USB to RS232 serial adapter you can add the function of a serial port to a computer that doesn't have one or doesn't have and extra one.

Multiflash for Windows has optional interfaces for programming in 'C', FORTRAN and Visual Basic. These interfaces comprise a set of sub-program calls to the Multiflash for Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL). The Multiflash Interface for MATLAB reproduces for the MATLAB environment the complete functionality of the Visual Basic interface as a simpler set of MATLAB functions, with enhancements for vector, matrix and array arguments.

MATLAB has its interface capabilities for applications running within the MATLAB environment, which could include applications incorporating Multiflash for MATLAB. Because Multiflash for MATLAB includes the complete Multiflash for Windows product, both the standard Windows and optional-extra interface capabilities of Multiflash for Windows itself (e.g. the Microsoft Excel interface) are readily available to the licensee of Multiflash for MATLAB.

In essence, there are two ways Matlab can be interfaced with RoboWorks. The first is through a data file and the second is through RoboTalk. From a Matlab program you can generate the required data file in the correct format and then use that data file to animate your simulation in RoboWorks. RoboWorks uses RoboTalk to allow external programs to interface with it. Matlab can also use this interface to communicate with RoboWorks. Matlab can call into the RoboTalk DLL using its CMEX interface.

MATLAB's MEX-file facility allows user to use C and Fortran subroutines as MATLAB m-files. It is also possible to use MATLAB as a computational engine for C/Fortran subroutines.

We wish to expose you to another high level language. CS100 teaches programming, not just specific languages. So, skills you learn in Java should transfer to other languages. MATLAB offers a very powerful and elegant language for performing numerical analysis. We encourage you to explore similar packages, such as Maple, Mathematica, MathCad, and TKSolver.

RS232 can be used for fine adjustment and can also substitute remote control functions. To check if your RS232 port is working, download and perform the quick test method provided.
