Thanks to everyone who attended today's session on Data Logging with MATLAB. I have attached all of the code I used in the session to this post.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, see you in 2014!

On Jan 23rd we're airing live from San Diego, CA, where we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of MathWorks with all our colleagues.

I will be hosting Brad Hieb and Shaun Kalinowsky from our Application Engineering Group in Novi, MI, and discuss about model structuring in Simulink. Join us!
