API for MATLAB - gtec's Device Driver for the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox

The API for MATLAB is available for g.USBamp and the g.MOBIlab+. The toolbox is a device driver that lets users read biosignal data like EEG, ECoG, EMG, EOG and ECG within the MATLAB environment. MATLAB is a very flexible development environment which allows you to easily set up your own signal acquisition and analysis by utilizing all available toolboxes from MATLAB (like Statistics, Neural Networks, and Signal Processing).

The API for MATLAB contains commands which give full access to the amplifier. There are commands for reading the data, setting the bandpass and Notch filters, changing the sampling frequency of the amplifier, defining bipolar derivations and calibrating the system.

Multiple g.USBamps can be used if they are connected with a synchronization cable to work in absolute synchrony. In this situation, one device must be defined as master to control the other amplifiers.

An integrated impedance check gives you the impedance values of passive electrodes connected to the 16 input channels and 4 reference channels.

One of the key advantages of API for MATLAB is that it is fully integrated into the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox. Therefore, you can start data acquisition within minutes, and build your application easily and quickly on top of it.

On-line Biosignal Acquisition

Define the analog input object for g.USBamp

ai = analoginput('guadaq',1); 
addchannel(ai,[1]);

Set the sampling rate to 256 Hz and acquire 10 seconds of data

set(ai,'SampleRate',256,'SamplesPerTrigger',10*256);
preview=256; 
p = plot(zeros(preview,1)); grid on 
start(ai)

Wait for one second to have at least 256 samples for the visualization

while ai.SamplesAcquired < preview
end

Show the acquired data in the figure

while ai.SamplesAcquired < 10 * 256
 &nbsp; &nbsp;data = peekdata(ai,preview);
 &nbsp; &nbsp;set(p,'ydata',data);
 &nbsp; &nbsp;drawnow;
end

Usage of Softscope

The Data Acquisition Toolbox provides a scope block for the visualization of data. Perform the following steps to visualize g.USBamp and g.MOBIlab+ data in this scope.

First register the g.USBamp/g.MOBIlab+ adaptor with

daqregister('guadaq')
ans = &nbsp;'guadaq.dll' successfully registered

Configure g.USBamp to acquire 1 channel in calibration mode. Therefore an analog input object with the adaptor guadaq of device 1 must be created.

ai = analoginput('guadaq',1);

Add the first channel


addchannel (ai,1)

and set g.USBamp to calibration mode


set(ai,'Mode','Calibration');

Start the Data Acquisition Oscilloscope


softscope(ai);
