CCS/LAUNCHXL-F28069M: working with MatLab, or LabView, or just a simply excel sheet

Mike,

I guess it depends on what you are actively trying to do. i.e. how much real-time analysis is required.

C2000 devices have multiple serial ports that can be accessed using standard off-the-shelf software, such as UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN, Ethernet, and more. There are many third-party devices out there to facilitate the connection to a PC. One would only need to build their own software on top of that to do what they want to do.

I can share my experience with this, and I have notified others who may chime in as well.

With UART, you can purchase a Serial-to-USB adapter and be connected to a serial socket with programs like LabVIEW, Python, or MATLAB. If you develop a command/response architecture, you can make your client software more generic to handle other MCUs in the future. I have personally used terminal output, to display current status information. I have also used the Serial VIs in Labview to access, read, and write, variables within my application during runtime. During validation/characterization of our devices, we utilize CAN, JTAG, UART, and others in a similar fashion to help automate our testing by actively changing variables.

Really any of our serial ports are capable of being connected to a PC. Some may require additional hardware like adapter cables, but others like USB, or Ethernet need only be plugged in.

Here is a list of examples to help guide you with what is possible all found within C2000Ware or other C2000 support packages
