====== Matlab ======
From the point of view of a computer scientist [[https://de.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html|Matlab]] is not the first environment for numerical computations for motion analysis. But due to historical reasons [[https://de.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html|Matlab]] is ofen used in the motion analysis community. There are more modern scripting languages available, which better fits to the domain of numerical computation like [[https://www.scala-lang.org/|Scala]]. And also with the buildin support of [[https://www.python.org/|Python]] in [[https://www.vicon.com/|Vicon Nexus]] the community can learn about the great possibilities of modern programming langugages and software development enviroments.

At the present a lot of scientists are familar with the syntax of its scripting language. That´s why the Nimue-Platform supports the integration with [[https://de.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html|Matlab]] in different manners.


===== Setup a Matlab connection =====
===== Filters =====
It is possible to invoke matlab code to filter timeseries during reading or writing trials for processing or to visualize in the plot sheet.

===== Processing elements =====
It is possible to invoke matlab scripts defined by processing elements.

===== Reading/Writing Matlab files =====
It is possible to read/write the matlab binaray data formats. This allows to export processed data into matlab files for further processing. This functionaliy is independend of a Matlab-installation or connection to a Matlab server.
