MATLAB R2007a to Mathscript

Question

Hi
I have written MATLAB code to produce a squarewave at a certain frequency for 0.01 seconds. The code then loops back to produce a similar squarewave but at a different frequency, and then concatenates it to the end of the first squarewave. There are 100 such iterations such that it builds a squarewave of changing frequency that runs for 1 second (i.e. 0.01*100). I want to output this squarewave to the computer speakers.
The code works in MATLAB but when i copy it into the Matchscript window it does not. The commands that i am using seem to be compatible with Mathscript and it seems that the problem comes in at the for loop stage. My MATLAB code is pasted below and i have attached the LabVIEW VI with my Mathscript window. Could someone please have a look at my code and see if i am missing any common issues? I am a new LabVIEW user and am not entirely familiar with its intricacies.

Answer 1

DCT,
Remember that array indices in MathScript are 1-based, so changing the for loop statement to "for n = 1:100" should make it work.  This can be a little confusing because array indices are 0-based in native LabVIEW, so you need to make sure to add or subtract 1 when going back and forth between LabVIEW code and MathScript code.
