GUI for realtime data capture of mutiple channels from Texas Instruments board

Hi,

I want to capture electromyography data which is captured in realtime through a Texas Instruments ADS131E08 on an MMB0 board.

I notice that there appears to be support for this:

https://uk.mathworks.com/hardware-support/texas-instruments.html

I believe what I have is using the C5000 family which appears to be supported. My questions relate to where to start with this?

1. Are there exsiting tools for multichannel online data capture (3rd party or otherwise?)
2. Are there any tutorials/support resources for the link above?

Thanks

Hello,

To start with capturing electromyography (EMG) data using the Texas Instruments ADS131E08 on an MMB0 board, you can follow these steps:

1.Hardware Setup:

• Ensure that you have the necessary hardware components, including the MMB0 board and the ADS131E08 chip.
• Connect the MMB0 board to your computer using the appropriate interface (e.g., USB).

2.Software Setup:

• Install MATLAB on your computer if you haven't already done so.
• Install the Texas Instruments C2000 Support Package for MATLAB from the MathWorks website. This package provides support for the C5000 family, which includes the ADS131E08 chip.
• Follow the installation instructions provided by MathWorks to set up the support package correctly.

3.Data Capture:

• Once the software setup is complete, you can use MATLAB to capture EMG data in real-time.
• Launch MATLAB and open the Command Window.
• Connect to the MMB0 board using the appropriate MATLAB command or function provided by the support package.Configure the ADS131E08 chip for data acquisition, specifying the desired settings such as sample rate, number of channels, and gain.
• Start the data acquisition process using MATLAB commands or functions provided by the support package.
• Retrieve the acquired data from the ADS131E08 chip using MATLAB and store it for further analysis or processing.

Regarding your specific questions:

• Existing Tools for Multichannel Online Data Capture: The Texas Instruments C2000 Support Package for MATLAB provides tools and functions for capturing multichannel data from the ADS131E08 chip. These tools are specifically designed to work with Texas Instruments hardware and can be utilized for online data capture.
• Tutorials and Support Resources: The MathWorks website offers various resources to help you get started with the Texas Instruments support package. You can find tutorials, examples, documentation, and support forums on their website dedicated to this specific hardware support. Visit the link you provided (https://uk.mathworks.com/hardware-support/texas-instruments.html) to access these resources and explore the available documentation and examples.

Hope this helps!
