Hi Guys, is it possible to export Scope Data to Plecs Standalone to plot it in Matlab? How can I do something like that? Thanks Sarah ---

There are three options to export trace data from PLECS Standalone so that it can be processed with an external tool like MATLAB. From within the Scope window select File + Export + as CSV…Use a simulation script to export the scope data as described in the Simulation Scripts in PLECS Standalone section of the PLECS documentation.Use the To File component from the PLECS library to export the input signals to an external \*.csv or \*.mat file. ---

One other option is to save a trace from a scope in Standalone and load that into a scope in Blockset so long as the number of plots are consistent.
