OsensaMatlab

OsensaMatlab (by Hisham Assi) tells Matlab users how to access the python library osensapy in Matlab. Osensapy a Python module interfacing with the OSENSA transmitters.

• First, you need to configure your Matlab system to use Python.
• Then you need to install osensapy: pip install osensapy; make sure to install it in the same python environment that you linked to Matlab.
• Import osensapy by this Matlab command: osensapy=py.importlib.import_module('osensapy'), the outcome will be somthing like:

  osensapy = Python module with no properties.
  <module 'osensapy' from 'path\\ to\\ osensapy\\ __init__.py'>
  

  Go to this osensapy folder, first, delete the file __init__.py, then rename the file osensapy.py to __init__.py
• Now you can access the Transmitter calss methods by calling the Matlab function

  transmitter=get_osensa_transmitter(port_name)
  

  where port_name is the name of the serial port connected to Osensa transmitter (for example 'COM5')
• All the the Transmitter function descibe in OsensaPy Guid , namley, the ones with format transmitter.some_function() can be accessed with same way. For eaxample to read the transmitter serial number, one needs to use Matlab command

  transmitter.read_serial_number()
  

  Note the command transmitter.fast_batch(3) needs to be, in Matlab:

  transmitter.fast_batch(uint16(3))
  

• Don't forget to close the transmitter when you are done

  transmitter.close()
