MATLAB: Do I get the error “The support packages in the folder are not of the expected type.” when installing a support package from a folder

This error indicates that you are trying to install a Software support package through the Hardware support package installer or vice versa. For example, if you are trying to install the MinGW compiler, you will see this error if you have opened the Hardware Support Package Installer instead of the Software Support Package Installer.

If you see this error when installing a support package, try launching the other Support Package installer.

To launch the Software Support Package Installer, use this command:

hwconnectinstaller.launchInstaller('supportcategory','software')

To launch the Hardware Support Package Installer, use this command:

hwconnectinstaller.launchInstaller('supportcategory','hardware')

MATLAB: Does setCalibrationCoefficientsIntoEEProm not write the correct values to the spectrometer’s EEPROM when using the OceanOptics driver and Instrument Control Toolbox

This is caused by an OceanOptics Java driver limitation in the way number formatting depends on the system locale. The problem arises when the computer's system locale is using a decimal symbol separator different that the one used in United States locale (for example comma in Germany locale instead of dot: 3,14 vs 3.14)

A workaround for this OceanOptics driver limitation is to set the default Java Locale in MATLAB to US, at the beginning at the MATLAB script:

java.util.Locale.setDefault(java.util.Locale.US)

A working example script would then be:

%workaround for OceanOptics driver system locale limitation (set to US)
java.util.Locale.setDefault(java.util.Locale.US)
% define wavelength calibration coefficients values
calibCoeffWl = [178.70158, 0.379557, -1.442072e-05, -1.855855e-09];
% identify spectrometer index and channel index
spIndex = 0;
chIndex = 0;
% connect to spectrometer
sp = icdevice('OceanOptics_OmniDriver.mdd');
connect(sp);
% initialize coefficients data
coeff = invoke(sp.Coefficients, 'Coefficients');
% update coefficients data with wavelength calibration coefficients
invoke(coeff, 'setWlCoefficients', calibCoeffWl)
% write coefficients data to EEPROM (apply wavelength coefficients only)
invoke(sp, 'insertKey', 'Mat429sky');
invoke(sp, 'setCalibrationCoefficientsIntoEEProm', spIndex, chIndex, 1, 0, 0);
invoke(sp, 'removeKey');
% disconnect
disconnect(sp);
