Full Release of the Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012

The full release of the Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver, version 1.0 is now available for download for all Shimmer users and registered members of the Shimmer website.

The first full release replaces the 0.X beta version which was made available earlier this year. The Instrument Driver allows users to stream Shimmer data directly to MATLAB, and to assist development of Shimmer based applications in MATLAB. Version 1.0X provides additional features including:

  • Auto calibration of data
  • A method to check for any packet loss
  • Improved methods for obtaining data
  • Updated examples

Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver – Beta Release

Thursday, March 1st, 2012


Shimmer Research is proud to announce the Beta release of the Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver to support users’ algorithm test and implementation, data visualization, data analysis, and numerical computation.

The Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver is an object orientated solution for Shimmer data capture directly into MATLAB. The solution will allow Shimmer users to stream data directly to MATLAB, and assist users of the Shimmer 2 and Shimmer 2r in the development of Shimmer based applications in MATLAB. Shimmer users will benefit from MATLAB’s full range of tools including matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, Java, and Fortran.

The Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver adds to the range of supporting tools and applications already available to Shimmer users including the Shimmer LabVIEW Library, ShimmerConnect (C#), and the Shimmer 9DoF Calibration applications.

Key features of the Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver include:

  • Object orientated solution for Shimmer data capture directly into MATLAB
  • Provides for full configuration functionality to set features such as
    • sampling rate
    • accelerometer range
    • which sensors are enabled/disabled
  • Allows for simultaneous data capture from multiple Shimmers
  • Two example .m scripts which demonstrate the use of the ShimmerHandle class including plotting of data and writing data to a file
  • Includes documentation and help info

Version 0.X is a Beta release prior to the release of the more extensive Shimmer MATLAB Instrument Driver Solution (v1.X) which will be released at a later date. The Instrument Driver is designed to work with MATLAB 2008a (version 7.6) or later on a Windows OS (the library has been tested on Windows XP and Windows 7).
