MATLAB DataPlugin provides support for MAT files are written by MATLAB from The Mathworks. This DataPlugin helps you import and export MATLAB files, and directly read files in the .mat file extension.
MATLAB® is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc.
Note This DataPlugin is available for 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
Parameter to control DataPlugin functionality: <SwitchLabel>value</SwitchLabel>
Please have a look into the help system of your application to find the usage of "DataPlugin Parameter" for loading and saving bulk data.
| Switch Label | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| matrixmode | Row, Column, Automatic | Use this parameter to select channel wise. ==> (Default = Automatic) This parameter only works for the original mapping. The new mapping option <concatenatestructure> will concatenate all the elements (m*n) of one matrix, so <matrixmode> doesn't work for it. |
| endian | little, big | Use this parameter to set the byte order of the file. ==> (Default = big) |
| concatenatestructure | true | Use this parameter to concatenate matrix of structures. ==> (Default = false). |
| makewaveformchannels | true | Use this parameter to create waveform channels. ==> (Default = false). |
| makescalarasproperties | true | Use this parameter to make scalar channels as properties of the channelgroups. ==> (Default = false). |
| support3Dmatrix | true | Supports 3D data. ==> (Default = false). |
| separategroupchannelname | _ | Supports in case of exporting data, a separator character for the generated export channel naming ([groupname][channelname]). By setting this character to "_" the DataPluign will insert "_" between groupname and channelname ([groupname]<char>[channelname]). Any character is valid. ==> (Default-Character = <empty>). |
| nogroupnames | true | Supports in case of exporting data, the generated export channel naming. Default is ([groupname]<SeperatorChar>[channelname]). This switch remove the group name and the SeparatorCharacter from the generation rule for exported channel names ==> (Default = false). |
MATLAB DataPlugin supports the application software that support DataPlugins, for example DIAdem, SystemLink and LabVIEW.
Download the MATLAB DataPlugin installer from ni.com/dataplugins. NI software includes NI Package Manager to handle the installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using NI Package Manager.

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.
MATLAB DataPlugin no longer supports Windows Vista/XP/7/8.x, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012, or any 32-bit Windows operating system. Versions of this product that ship after May 1, 2021, may not install or execute correctly on these operating systems.
