To run a MATLAB based user measurement, you must create a simple XML configuration file that describes your measurement. In addition to calling the script, the XML file populates the User Measurement Setup dialog.

When a user measurement is run, FlexDCA performs the following tasks for each data acquisition:

  1. Makes the waveform, the standard variables, and any custom variables available in the MATLAB workspace. In Oscilloscope and TDR modes, the source waveform is a one-dimensional array. In Eye mode, the source database is a two-dimensional array.
  2. Runs any selected "dependent" FlexDCA measurements in which the measurement result is used by the script. (specified in XML file).
  3. Executes the script.
  4. Retrieves the measurement result from the MATLAB workspace and displays the result in the measurement results table. A number of standard output variables are also retrieved from the MATLAB workspace.
