This code base exposes the C SDK by ADInstruments <https://www.adinstruments.com/>_ to MATLAB.

It allows you to read LabChart files into MATLAB and to create your own LabChart files.

Only works with Windows. This is an ADInstruments issue. I can't fix it

LabChart provides functionality for exporting data to a '.mat' file, although I have yet to get it to work. I also prefer not having files that are simply copies of an original file but in a different format. This code allows reading data directly from LabChart data files.

• adi.readFile : Reads a file
• adi.convert : Converts the a given file to another format (e.g. from .adicht to .mat)

Like most of my more recent readers, the raw channel data are not returned unless specifically requested. Instead a lightweight (low memory) handle is returned with relevant meta data and the raw channel data can be requested via subsequent method calls.

	f = adi.readFile;
	pres_chan = f.getChannelByName('pressure');
	raw_pres_data = pres_chan.getData(1); %Get data from the first record

At some point a function could be written that reads everything and reads it into a structure but this is really really low priority for me.

To read these files on a Mac first requires converting the 'adicht' format into a 'mat' format. Unfortunately, the way in which these files needs to be created leaves the mat file looking a bit ugly. Once however it is in the 'mat' format, it can be read via the code in the same way that the original 'adicht' file could.

	f = adi.readFile('/Users/Jim/Work/example_file.mat');

Writing is partially implemented, see here

I can't remember exactly what part of writing I haven't implemented!

Requires 64bit MATLAB on Windows. 32bit Matlab could be supported but some of the mex code would need to be rewritten.

To install the package ('+adi') needs to be on the Matlab path (add parent folder of +adi folder). Sub-folders of the package should not be added to the path.

General parts include:

• sdk class/package (see adi.sdk) - this is the Matlab code that directly interfaces with the mex code
• sdk_mex (see +adi/private directory) - this is the actual mex code which calls the ADInstruments dll
