Signal Import and Export

Interface with external signals

Using the file reader and writer System objects and blocks from DSP System Toolbox™, you can read and write data from audio files, binary files, and MAT files. The dsp.SignalSource object and blocks such as Signal From Workspace and To Workspace (Simulink) enable you to import and export signals from the MATLAB^® workspace. The UDP Send and Receive objects and blocks enable you to transmit data packets over the UDP network. You can also play audio on the sound card of your device using the Audio Device Writer object and block.
