what is the "count" mean?

hi

What do these commands do? please

what is "count"?

[v1,count]=fscanf(fid,'%f',[2,numpt]);

fclose(fid);

v1=v1';

code=v1(:,2);

code_count=zeros(1,2^numbit);

Answer 1

[KSSV]

[v1,count]=fscanf(fid,'%f',[2,numpt]);    % reading data from the file into 2 rows and numpt coulmns; count gives you total numbers read into v1 
fclose(fid);    % closing the file 
v1=v1';   % transpose 
code=v1(:,2);   % pick second column 
code_count=zeros(1,2^numbit);

Check numel(v1) and count, they should be equal.

I found these commands to output an ADC to MATLAB. Do you know if the ADC outputs it needs to get are just the bits or not? If not, what is the meaning of v 1?Please

<disp('HP16500C State Card');

filename=input(

'Type a:\filename or Press RETURN for HPIB Data Transfer: ');

if isempty(filename)

filename =

'listing';

end

fid=fopen(filename,'r');

numpt=input(

'Data Record Size (Number of Points)? ');

fclk=input(

'Sampling Frequency (MHz)? ');

%MAX1448 - 10-bit data converter

numbit=10;

%Discard first 13 lines from the data file, which do not contain data

for i=1:13,

fgetl(fid);

end

[v1,count]=fscanf(fid,'%f',[2,numpt]);

fclose(fid);

v1=v1';

code=v1(:,2);

%Display a warning, when the input generates a code greater than full-scale

if (max(code)==2^numbit-1) | (min(code)==0)

disp('Warning: ADC may be clipping!!!');

end

%Plot results in the time domain

figure;

plot([1:numpt],code);
