RecordName
Specify name of record file
Description
You configure RecordName
to be the name
of the record file. You can specify any value for RecordName
—
including a directory path — provided the filename is supported
by your operating system.
The MATLAB® software supports any filename supported by
your operating system. However, if you access the file through the MATLAB workspace,
you might need to specify the filename using single quotes. For example,
suppose you name the record file my record.txt
.
To type this file at the MATLAB Command Window, you must include
the name in quotes.
type('my record.txt')
You can specify whether data and event information are saved
to one disk file or to multiple disk files with the RecordMode
property.
If RecordMode
is index
, then
the filename follows a prescribed set of rules. Refer to Specifying a File Name for
a description of these rules.
You can configure RecordName
only when
the object is not recording. You terminate recording with the record
function. An object that is
not recording has a RecordStatus
property value
of off
.
