Executes external scripts written in the Mathworks, Inc. MATLAB® language syntax. You must have the MATLAB software installed on your computer to use MATLAB script nodes because the script nodes invoke the MATLAB script server to execute scripts written in the MATLAB language syntax. Because LabVIEW uses ActiveX technology to implement MATLAB Script Nodes, they are available only on Windows.

Use this node to execute external scripts. Enter the script in the node or right-click the node border to import text into the node. Right-click the node border to add input and output terminals. Right-click a terminal to set its data type. When you create a script written in the MATLAB language syntax, you must use an acceptable data type.
Refer to the following VIs for examples of using the MATLAB script node:
