Saving and Loading
You can save serial port objects to a MAT-file just as you would any workspace variable - using the save
command. For example, suppose you create the serial port object s
associated with the serial port COM1, configure several property values, and perform a write and read operation.
s = serial('COM1'); s.BaudRate = 19200; s.Tag = 'My serial object'; fopen(s) fprintf(s, '*IDN?') out = fscanf(s);
To save the serial port object and the data read from the device to the MAT-file myserial.mat
Note
You can save data and event information as text to a disk file with the record function.

You can recreate s
and out
in the workspace using the load
command.
Values for read-only properties are restored to their default values upon loading. For example, the Status
property is restored to closed
. Therefore, to use s
, you must connect it to the device with the fopen
function. To determine if a property is read-only, examine its reference pages.
