MATLAB Code Implementation for Serial Communication Interface

Resource Overview

MATLAB-based serial communication interface program developed using MATLAB GUI, featuring an executable (.exe) file generation for standalone deployment

Detailed Documentation

This program implements a serial communication interface using MATLAB. The interface was developed with MATLAB's GUI components to create a host computer serial port interface, and the application was compiled into an executable (.exe) file for independent execution. The interface program enables communication with serial port devices, supporting both data transmission and reception operations. Users can efficiently interact with serial devices through this interface, performing various control and operational tasks. The development leverages MATLAB's serial communication functions, utilizing key components such as the serial object creation with specific baud rates, data bits, and parity settings. The GUI implementation incorporates callback functions for handling button clicks, data display updates, and real-time serial data processing. The executable generation was achieved using MATLAB's Application Compiler, which packages all necessary dependencies into a standalone Windows executable. The program architecture ensures excellent portability and scalability, with careful consideration given to stability and performance optimization. Error handling mechanisms were implemented using try-catch blocks to manage serial communication exceptions, while buffer management algorithms ensure efficient handling of large data volumes and complex communication tasks across various operating environments. The interface includes features for baud rate configuration, data format selection, and real-time communication status monitoring. This MATLAB-based serial communication interface represents a robust and user-friendly tool that simplifies serial communication implementation and data exchange tasks, featuring a comprehensive set of configuration options and real-time monitoring capabilities suitable for both development and production environments.
