Good afternoon,
I have in mind a simple project but I'm not sure how to start it. Currently I'm using an Excel spreadsheet where every day I put in one single value coming from an instrument and I plot it to see if it lies within some low/upper limit. It is a very basic control chart.
I did a very stupid script in Matlab, where I generate a random number let's say 2.00, add it to an array D(1,1), plot the array, save the variable and exit. Next run, I load again D, I generate another new random number and I save it in D(2,1) and so on… so D has no a fixed dimension… it is continued updated every day. This process relies to the fact that I have to save and load the numeric array from the workspace to be plotted/updated.
I'd like to do it in a more elegant way, but I have no clues. My ambition is to create an .exe file which will consist of a simple GUI containing buttons and of course the graph.
Is there a way to save past data within the GUI, so that every time I launch the .exe I can see the plot with all the values?
That is my idea at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions or other techniques to accomlish the task.
Thanks
