Nested for loops using vectorization in MATLAB
Show older comments
I currently have two national instrument devices hooked up to MATLAB and have this nested for loop:
for i=1: 5
removeChannel(session, 7)
addAnalogInputChannel(session, 'cDAQ1Mod8', ['ai' num2str(i)], 'Voltage');
for j=1: 5
signal = [in(i,:) out(j,:)];
outputSingleScan(session, signal);
measurements(6-j,6-i) = session.inputSingleScan;
end
end
Basically what this does is removes the last channel in the session and adds a new one from the DAQ depending on the iteration. A signal is then sent from the NI USB device and then another measurement is read from the DAQ. How do I use vectorization for this nested for loop?

Not sure how to vectorize this (don't have the toolbox), but you could simplify the code like this if you want:
for i = 1:5
removeChannel(session, 7)
addAnalogInputChannel(session, 'cDAQ1Mod8', ['ai' num2str(i)], 'Voltage');
for j = 1:5
signal = [in(i,:) out(j,:)];
outputSingleScan(session, signal);
measurements(6-j,6-i) = session.inputSingleScan;
end
end
Also, are you trying to vectorize this because this is too slow? You would have to determine what the bottle neck is first. For instance, even if we could vectorize this, if removeChannel or outputSingleScan is slow, then vectorizing may not help much.

Oh, I see. I don't have the Data Acquisition Toolbox, so hopefully one of the pros will stop by to lend a help. Also, feel free to edit the question with the simpler code to make it easy on their eyes :)
