Calls the MATLAB(R) software to execute scripts. You must have a licensed copy of the MATLAB software version 6.5 or later installed on your computer to use MATLAB script nodes because the script nodes invoke the MATLAB software script server to execute scripts written in the MATLAB language syntax. Because LabVIEW uses ActiveX technology to implement MATLAB script nodes, they are available only on Windows.

Add this node to the block diagram and enter the script. You also can right-click the node border to import text into the node. Right-click the node border to add input and output terminals. Right-click a terminal to set its data type. When you create a script in the MATLAB script node, you must use supported data types.
