MATLAB Runtime Server

Testing While Emulating the Runtime Server

It is useful to test and debug an application while your development copy of MATLAB emulates the Runtime Server, before actually running the application with the Runtime Server. Follow these steps:

1. If you have just compiled P-files in a toolbox directory, then restart MATLAB or type rehash toolboxreset. Either action updates the internal file list.
2. Save your development path so that you can restore it later. Type

   devpath = path;
   save devpath devpath
   

3. Tell MATLAB to start emulating the Runtime Server. Type

   runtime on
   

4. Run the example application by typing

   matlabrt
   

The example's GUI opens. Test the application by filling in the GUI fields and pressing the Calculate button.

5. Exit the application by typing close force at the MATLAB command line. This closes the figure window without quitting MATLAB.
6. Tell MATLAB to stop emulating the Runtime Server. Type

   runtime off
   

7. Restore the development path by typing

   load devpath
   path(devpath)
