When the MATLAB/Simulink environment is configured a MATLAB-version as has to be selected
and registered as a COM server (see Figure 25). Alternatively the so called RMI protocol can be
used for the communication with MATLAB. The RMI communication is the default
configuration.
The installed MATLAB-versions will be searched automatically by analysis of the Windowsregistry.
If this fails for some reasons the configuration can be done manually.
The MATLAB installation configuration can be either accessed via Platform configuration or via
menu “MATLAB/MATLAB installations ...”.
Please note that only one MATLAB-Version/Installation can be used at a time. In the case of COMcommunication
this version needs to be registered as COM-server.
In case of RMI communication MATLAB is accessed by default via TCP-IP-Ports 20556, 20557 or
3319. If for some reason these ports or not accessible alternative open ports can be used
instead. This can be configured using the checkbox in the “Setup MATLAB Versions” window.
(cf Figure 25). In case MATLAB is already open and runs a server on one of the given ports this
MATLAB is used by TPT an no new MATLAB is opened.
The MATLAB startup may consume more than 40s. In this case the “Startup timeout” can be
increased (cf Figure 25).

A Log-file and a startup directory may be specified (see Figure 26).
In the Log-file all communication with MATLAB is logged. The contents of the specified log-file
are the same that can be seen in the “Console”-view (cf. Figure 26).
The “Startup dir” is the directory MATLAB starts. In case MATLAB is already open and used TPT
doesn’t change the current MATLAB directory.
