使用MATLAB显示流式串行数据

标签: matlab serial-port streaming

我编写了一个m函数来捕获和绘制50Hz的串行数据流。这可以按预期工作,但事实上在数据流中的任何更改都反映在绘图中之前存在大的(大约10秒)延迟。

m函数使用serial data stream设计模式,图表配置为类似于strip chart。已遵循MATLAB对optimizing graphics performance的建议,使用get / set方法更新YData,而不是重新绘制数据。

现在,我的代码出现了问题,或者我已经达到了MATLAB无需使用实时窗口目标的能力。谁能发现我做错了什么?我正在考虑在嵌入式系统上实现USB接口,该接口正在流式传输MATLAB正在绘制的数据,但我不相信这会解决问题。

expected_column_count = 10;

前段时间我提出了原来的问题,并在发现问题时忽略了答案 - 抱歉。对于那些感兴趣的人,事实证明,10秒延迟是由于我设置轴的XLimXtick属性的方式出错。替换以下代码片段:

set(red_subplot, 'XTickLabel',[],...
    'XTick',1:cycle_count,...
    'XGrid','on');
xlim(red_subplot,[1 cycle_count]);
xlabel('1 sec / div');

有了这个:

set(red_subplot,'XTickLabel',[],...
    'XTick',(0:sample_rate:(sample_rate * cycle_count))',...
    'XGrid','on');
xlim(red_subplot,[0 sample_rate * cycle_count]);
xlabel('1 sec / div');

消除了10秒的延迟。通常这种情况下,解决一个问题暴露出另一个问题,更为基础问题。看起来MATLAB根本无法记录57600串行数据流而不丢弃样本。使用类似于上面发布的代码(即GUI代码)以及没有GUI的简化命令行版本验证了此行为。丢弃的样本数量从一次运行到另一次运行不同,但每分钟约为7次,即每3000个样本7次。然后我编写了一些LabVIEW代码来做同样的事情,并且它不会丢弃一个样本,无论我离开它运行了多少小时。我从中得出的教训是,MATLAB非常适合分析数据,但不太适合获取数据。这是LabVIEW或dSPACE最好的任务。

我有类似的问题。对我来说,这是串行连接溢出引起的延迟。尝试降低采样率并提高波特率。参见:
