That error message (''pmset' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file) is a Windows error message.
Based on this blog post you can determine this in Windows using an undocumented/unsupported class in Powershell:
Put this Powershell script wherever you wish (like in your "Documents" folder, for instance):
Function Test-IsOnBattery
{
Param(
[string]$computer
)
if ([BOOL](Get-WmiObject -Class BatteryStatus -Namespace root\wmi -ComputerName $computer).PowerOnLine)
{Write-Output "On AC Power"}
else
{Write-Output "On Battery"}
} #end function test-IsOnBattery
Test-IsOnBattery -computer <YourComputerName>
Name the file Test-IsOnBattery.ps1.
Then call it from Matlab like this:
[status, output] = system("powershell C:/Users/<YourUserName>/Documents/Test-IsOnBattery");
Then you can test the result like this:
if strfind(output, "AC")
disp('AC')
else
disp('Battery')
end
I hope this helps.
