This Matlab program starts by calling a bash script to read a large data file from the MTS.
The bash script readMTS.sh needs to be placed in ~/Documents/MATLAB/ScriptMTS/readMTS.sh.
Then go to the terminal, navigate to the folder where the script is, and make your script executable (changing the permissions) by writing the command
chmod +rwx readMTS.shThe bash script creates two text files in the same folder as your result file 'nameoffile':
- a param_nameoffile containing the dimensions of the specimen, the temperature, and the headers of the columns
- a data_nameoffile containing only numeric data
The Matlab code readMTS2.m then proceeds to read the parameters of the test and putting them in a structure (identical to the one created by readMTS.m). However, instead of having to read the data line by line, readMTS2.m reads the file data_nameoffile using the Matlab function load, which is much faster. It then puts all data in the final structure.
