CHENNAI
One day Faculty Development Programme on “MATLAB PROGRAMMING WITH ADVANCED TOOL BOXES” was organized by the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering with an intention to upgrade the knowledge in MATLAB Programming with the aid of advanced tool boxes. The training programme was organized by Dr. P. S. Mayurappriyan and the resource persons were Mr. Kazi Yaser Arafat S & Mr. Balaji, Application Engineers, Design Tech Systems, Chennai and the event was co-ordinated by Ms. M. Ammal Dhanalakshmi.
The morning session started at 11.00 a.m. with a brief introduction to MATLAB 2017b which is the latest version to be introduced in the market. The trainer focused on key aspects of MATLAB – Automation in Technical Computation and the pre–requisite platforms essential for the operation. The programme continued with the basic script file and function file codings with advanced features. Further, there was a brief presentation on tool boxes like graphical user interface design and Embedded C coder.
The post lunch session commenced with real time image processing techniques using external camera interface and various Simulink models with automatic tuning features. This was followed by a demonstration of external controller interface like ARDUINO UNO with MATLAB, wherein the device was controlled through MATLAB simulation. In addition, the M File that was generated in MATLAB was converted to an executable C file for further usage. Another important feature of MATLAB 2017b version was automatic generation of a report and power point presentation from an M File or a Simulink model on successful compilation of the programme. The session came to an end with IoT based MATLAB techniques at 4.10 pm. The participants in their feedback expressed that the entire session was effective and interactive to enable them to continue their research work with MATLAB advanced tool boxes.
