DSPACE/TakeData1

The code below contains the TakeData1.m script for use with the Instrumentation Basics lab for ME 125. If you need to, you can copy and paste the text out of the block below.

%% Close figures and clear - NOTE - globals will still work!
close all; clear

%% Access dSPACE card

%% Define globals for ADC and DAC
%% Assumes ADC/DAC handles have been defined
