Matlab SDK for PalmSens devices

With this SDK, you can control your PalmSens instrument and process the data in MATLAB. Connect, control and process data from your PalmSens instrument using MATLAB.

Control your PalmSens instrument using MATLAB

Connect to your PalmSens instrument, receive data and plot the results, with a graphical user interface in MATLAB. After selecting the electrochemical technique to use, you can adjust the parameters and start a measurement.

Import experimental results from PSTrace directly into MATLAB

You can import your saved data from PSTrace in MATLAB directly. Use the PSTrace software to set-up and run your experiments with PalmSens instruments and use MATLAB for your advanced data analyses.

Plot results in Nyquist and Bode plot

You can plot the results of your electrochemical experiment in a Nyquist and Bode plot to analyze the impedance of your electrochemical setup

Installation

To use the matlab SDK, download the latest release here. Unzip and load the directory in Matlab.

Examples

The SDK contains the following examples and functions aimed to help you with using PalmSens and Emstat devices in Matlab.

ConnectionExample.m: Detailed explanation on how to detect and conect to your device.
EquivalentCircuitFitExample.m: An example of equivalent circuit fitting
GUIExample.m: An example of a Matlab user interface for performing measurements with your device.
ImportSessionExample.m: Detailed explanation on how to import and view measurements from a .pssession file created with PSTrace 5.x or MultiTrace 4.x.
ManualControlExample.m: An example of a Maltab user interface for manual control of your device.
MeasurementExample.m: Detailed explanation on how to perform a measurement, specified in a method, with a connected PalmSens or Emstat device.
MethodExample.m: Detailed explanation on how to load, edit and create new methods (methods are used to specify technique and the settings for a measurment).
MultiChannelMeasurementLoopExample.m: An example of connecting to and running measurements on multiple instruments/channels.

Functions

This is a list of the functions that are available in the Matlab SDK. These wrap some of the classes and functions in the .NET SDK and make them accessible through Matlab. Look at the function docstrings for usage and parameter descriptions.

GetConnectedDevices.m: Returns a list of connected PalmSens and Emstat devices.
LoadMethod.m: Loads a method from a *.psmethod file.
LoadPSSDK.m: Loads the PalmSens Matlab SDK.
LoadSession.m: Load (a) measurement(s) from a *.pssession file.
MultiChannelMeasurementLoopHelper.m: Waits for multiple instruments to finish their measurements
NewMethod.m: Creates a new method.
OpenConnection.m: Opens a connection to a device.
SaveMethod.m: Saves a method.

Classes

This is a list of the classes that are available through the Matlab SDK. These wrap some of the Palmsens .NET internal data structures to make them more accessible in Matlab. Look at the class and method docstrings for further information on the interfaces.

EquivalentCircuitFit.m: Handles the equivalent circuit fitting using the PalmSens.Core.Matlab.dll
Measurement.m: Returns data measured by a device as a variable, message in the command window and/or a plot in a figure.
MeasurementGUI.m: Version of the Measurement.m class that can be used with a Matlab GUIDE user interface.
MultiChannelMeasurement.m: Used for running when connected to multiple instruments simultaneaously, please refer to the MultiChannelMeasurementLoopExample
