Converting Data

Since ActiveX defines a number of different data formats and types, you will need to know how MATLAB converts data from activex objects into variables in the MATLAB workspace. Data from activex objects must be converted:

• When a property value is retrieved
• When a value is returned from a method invocation

This chart shows how ActiveX data types are converted into variables in the MATLAB workspace.
