find the number of times for calling a function in matlab - matlab

I am trying to use MATLAB in order to know for every single time that a function is called, Matlab returns a specific value.what kind of command i can use that do this for me.
for example for first call return 1000 and for second time return 2000.

Try with the profiler. You will know the number of times that a function is called and the time that has taken.
In the main function:
profile on
To stop it:
profile off
And to show the statistics:
profile viewer
Hope it helps!

How can I change delay time by agent's state in Anylogic?

Im new on Anylogic and is building an Student Service simulation, in it I thought a senario that if student coming to service center with simple question, staff can solve that quickly, otherwise it takes staff more time. I use a statechart to implement the question type of student:enter image description here
and I set corrpesond delay time as:
enter image description here
Once I try to build, complier give me an error:
enter image description here
What does it mean? Can anyone tell me how to solve that?
you have to use the short version of the if statement which returns a value
if(condition) else DOESNT return anything
instead use this:
agent.inState(agent.simpleQuestion) ? triangular(1,2,3) : triangular(3,4,5)
or instead you could do the same but you should create a function and add the function to the time delay
timeDelay(agent)
and in the function you would do
if(agent.inState(agent.simpleQuestion))
return triangular(1,2,3);
else
return triangular(3,4,5);

Get data from Serialport using Callback?

I am using this function:
https://es.mathworks.com/help/matlab/import_export/use-events-and-callbacks-for-serial-port-communication.html
function readSerialData(s,~)
data = readline(s);
disp(data);
end
configureCallback(s,"terminator",#readSerialData)
To get data from my connected device. The device receives new data every second or so (50 Bytes), so I get the data displayed on the command line in real time. But I want to actually use this data, but I am not sure how to gather the variables.
I can not see any "data" variable in the workspace, to store it and plot a real time graph (that´s the target)
Thank you in advance :)

How to make a jenkins call to retrieve the job details every 'X' minutes in meteor?

What I'm up to is to get the jenkins job details and store it in mongo DB every "X" minutes. I have to make an HTTP.call(JenkinsURL) which I know how to do. My problem is calling it for specific intervals.
buildDetails=HTTP.call('GET',buildURL);
buildURL has the Jenkins job URL. I found this link which gives an overview of the code for my problem, but I don't know how and where i should place these code to get it working. I tried all possibility.
Is there any method in meteor which can make this possible to run a specific code to be run for every X min??
Is there any method in meteor which can make this possible to run a specific code to be run for every X min??
Yes, there is.
Meteor.setInterval that can be used to do something repetitively every X interval of time.
You can put your HTTP call within it on the server. Eg:
Meteor.startup({function(){
var timerID = Meteor.setInterval(function(){
buildDetails=HTTP.call('GET',buildURL);
// and other things
}, 60000) //60000ms = 1 min
}
});
When you want to stop the timer function, simply call Meteor.clearInterval
Meteor.clearInterval(timerID);

Long data load time in Matlab

I have four variables, each saved in 365 mat-files (size: 8 x 92 x 240). I try to load these into my function in a for-loop day=1:365, one variable file per day. However, the two first variables always take abnormally long time to load. My code for loading looks like this:
load([eraFolder sprintf('Y%dD%d-tempSD.mat',year,day)], 'tempSD'); % took 5420 s to load
load([eraFolder sprintf('Y%dD%d-tempDewSD.mat',year,day)], 'tempDewSD')
load([eraFolder sprintf('Y%dD%d-eEraSD.mat',year,day)], 'eEraSD'); % took 6 seconds to load
load([eraFolder sprintf('Y%dD%d-pEraSD.mat',year,day)], 'pEraSD');
Using Profiler, I could see that the first two variables took 5420 seconds to load in 365 calls, whereas the the last two variables took 6 and 4 seconds to load respectively over 365 calls. When I swap the order in which variables are loaded, e.g. eEraSD before tempSD, it is still the first two loads that take more time.
When using tic toc to track the time spent on loading, it appears that the time to load a the first or second variable exponentially increases with the number of calls (with the last calls taking 50 seconds to run) . For the third and fourth variable, the loading time stays around 0.02-0.04 seconds per file, more or less independent on how far in the for loop I have gone. See figures below.
When using importdata instead of 'load', the first line takes about 8000 seconds to load 365 times (with the loading exponentially increasing as shown for T in the second figure). The other lines then take about 10 seconds to load 365 times.
I can't understand why it looks this way and what I can do to decrease the loading time. Would greatly appreciate any idea of a possible solution for this.
I suppose your data sets are in the same directory(over network or local) and with same attributes e.g. access properties and so on.
Then the only option left is with the charateristics of the vairbales stored in those matfiles. Can you check how much those variables appear in size e.g. by loading a sample one. This will narrow down to solve your problem.
Hope that help.

Thanks for your help. I finally found out what caused the problem. In a 'for' loop later in the script, I saved other data to a folder I called temp. After renaming that folder to something else (e.g. temporary), the data loading problem disappeared.
(Doesn't matter so much now that the practical problem is solved, but I can't really say I understand why there was this peculiar relationship between the later 'save' call and this 'importdata' or 'load' call.)
Please see new question about the temp folder

Continuously acquire data in MATLAB using callbacks and persistent variables

I have just recently started to use MATLAB to acquire data off of a data acquisition board and was in need of a function to acquire data continuously (i.e. until I ctrl^C out of the function). To do this I am using the data acquisition toolbox on a 32-bit windows OS.
Based on the documentation in matlab help and a few of the answers on this site, I found that after adding channels to my input handle I should:
set my 'SamplesPerTrigger' to Inf
set the 'TimerPeriod' to some value to trigger the 'TimerFcn'
set the 'TimerFcn' to some subfunction callback which appends data to a persistent variable
Is this a correct way to do this?
My code is as follows:
function acquire_arena_test(samprate,daq_device ,device_ID ,channels, saveroot)
setup.SampleRate = samprate;
setup.DAQdevice = {daq_device, device_ID};
setup.AIChannels = channels;
setup.SaveRoot = {saveroot};
ai = analoginput(setup.DAQdevice{1},setup.DAQdevice{2});
addchannel(ai,[setup.AIChannels]);
set(ai,'SamplesPerTrigger',Inf);
set(ai,'TimerPeriod',0.5);
set(ai,'TimerFcn',{#AcquireData,ai});
start(ai);
while(strcmpi(get(ai,'Running'),'On'))
pause(1)
end
stop(ai);
time = datestr(now,30);
save([saveroot time], 'data');
delete(ai);
clear ai;
function AcquireData(hObject, ~)
persistent totalData;
data = getdata(hObject);
if isempty(totalData)
totalData =data;
else
totalData = [totalData; data];
end
The initial analog input is definitely working properly. I have tried many permutations of giving the AcquireData callback to 'TimerFcn'. The error I receive is
`??? Error using ==> acquire_arena_test>AcquireData
Too many input arguments.
Warning: The TimerFcn callback is being disabled.
To enable the callback, set the TimerFcn property. `
Thanks in advance for any help.
I think the syntax you use for setting up your TimerFcn is wrong. You write
set(ai,'TimerFcn',{#AcquireData,ai});
but this means that your function AcquireData will be called with tree parameters: AcquireData(ai, event, ai) as explained here, which then of course triggers the error message since your AcquireData function only accepts two parameters. Just change your code to
set(ai,'TimerFcn',#AcquireData);
and it should work; the ai object is automatically passed as the first parameter (see the link to the MATLAB documentation above).
Sorry about answering my own question, but I figured it out. The trigger was not needed after all. Using a national instruments board (or a sound card, as it turns out) you can just change the LoggingMode to 'disk' and specify a file to save the .daq (data acquisition toolbox) file to save as with LogFileName. If you want to use the memory on your board, change the mode to disk&Memory. Helpful document:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/daq/f12-16658.html
The script below acquires data during the pause, which is as long as you want it to be..
daqreset;
clear all;
ai = analoginput('nidaq','Dev1');
chans = addchannel(ai,0:6);
set(ai,'SamplesPerTrigger',Inf);
set(ai,'SampleRate',1000)
set(ai,'LogToDiskMode','Overwrite')
set(ai,'LogFileName','log.daq')
set(ai,'LoggingMode', 'disk')
start(ai)
pause()
stop(ai)
data = daqread('log.daq');
delete(ai);
Note that you still need to set 'SamplesPerTrigger' to Inf for this to work properly. Thank you to Jonas for his help as well.
