MATLAB Environment Configuration

This section will cover the setup and initialisation of the MATLAB Environment ahead of executing the code.

Triton GitHub - Clone/Download the Branch

At the time of writing this is a development branch and solely available to those internal to ADI. The System Platforms team have a copy of this branch available to transfer to your laptop using the link below:

Triton MATLAB - System Platforms Folder

These folders should be copied to a folder of your choice on your laptop. For the purposes of this documentation, we will assume it has been setup at:

• “C:\Triton_Customer_Demo\cots-adxband16ebz-classdev”

• “C:\Triton_Customer_Demo\Triton_Reference_Files”

MATLAB - Add-Ons and Reference File Setup

Ahead of the execution of the demo, we must install a number of MATLAB Add-ons from the Add-on Manager in the MATLAB Application.

Step 1: Open the MATLAB Application on your PC and you will see the menu bar has shown below.

• We want to select Add-Ons over on the right hand side of the menu bar

• Then select “Get Add-Ons” from the drop down to open the Add-Ons Explorer as shown in the second image

  

Step 2: Using this Add-Ons Explorer, you need to search and install each of the Add-Ons shown in the list below, these are the verified versions and packages required for the system to execute.

Step 3: Finally, we will link the Triton Reference Files and the cots-adxband16ebz-classdev folders that were copied to the PC earlier in the MATLAB application.

• From the menu bar, we select Set Path and a new window will Open

• We Select “Add with Subfolders”

• Navigate to the “C:\Triton_Customer_Demo\Triton_Reference_Files” folder and Select Folder

• Navigate to the “C:\Triton_Customer_Demo\cots-adxband16ebz-classdev” and Select Folder

Once this step is completed, you should end up with a view similar to the one below.

MATLAB Script Preparation

In the MATLAB application, navigate to the “C:\Triton_Customer_Demo\cots-adxband16ebz-classdev” path so you have a view similar to the one below:

• Open the Triton.m script

• Open the test_system_SystemPlatformsDemo.m script in the test sub-folder

• IMPORTANT: Ensure the path is restored to “C:\Triton_Customer_Demo\cots-adxband16ebz-classdev” ahead of any execution as the MATLAB application needs direct access to the rx_1tone_800MSPS.json file there, otherwise it will error on execution

  

The final item that needs to be set is the IP address of the Triton Platform in your code, this needs to be done in both MATLAB scripts you have opened above

• In the test_system_SystemPlatformsDemo.m script, at line 10, there is a single entry for IP Address and this should be set to whatever you have on your system, either 192.168.2.1 or the IP Address assigned by the DHCP server on the network.

  

• In the Triton.m script, there are 23 references to the IP address so we need to use Search and Replace to address this

  • Go to line 14 and see what the IP Address is currently configured to, e.g. 10.132.12.210

  

  • Using Ctrl-F it will open a Find window which can be expanded to a Find and Replace window, see screenshot below

  • We set the 10.132.12.210 address as the Find and the new IP Address as the Replace, e.g. 10.132.12.143

  • Select Replace All and each of the 23 IP’s in the script will be updated

  

• Save both files

Attention

The MATLAB Environment is now configured and you are ready to move to the next section to execute the script
