A straightforward code example demonstrating how to establish TCP/IP communication in MATLAB with client-server architecture, including data transmission and connection management

Detailed Documentation

A simple code implementation for establishing TCP/IP connections in MATLAB: The process begins by creating a TCP/IP object using MATLAB's Instrument Control Toolbox, which can be configured as either a client or server by specifying the remote host and port parameters. The fopen function is then employed to initiate the connection, handling the three-way handshake protocol internally. For data transmission, the fwrite function serializes and sends data through the established connection, while fread asynchronously reads incoming data with configurable buffer sizes. The communication protocol typically involves byte-stream data exchange with optional timeout settings. Finally, proper connection termination is achieved using the fclose function, which ensures resource cleanup and socket closure. This implementation provides a foundation for both client-server architectures and peer-to-peer communication in MATLAB environments.
