Examples

collapse all

Partition an MDF datastore from the sample file CANape.MF4, and return the first part.

mdfds = mdfDatastore("C:\myMDFData\CANape.MF4");
N = numpartitions(mdfds);
subds1 = partition(mdfds,N,1);

Partition an MDF datastore according to its files, and return partitions by index and file name.

cd C:\myMDFData
mdfds = mdfDatastore({'CANape1.MF4','CANape2.MF4','CANape3.MF4'});
mdfds.Files 
ans =
  3×1 cell array
    'C:\myMDFData\CANape1.MF4'
    'C:\myMDFData\CANape2.MF4'
    'C:\myMDFData\CANape3.MF4'
subds2 = partition(mdfds,'files',2);
subds3 = partition(mdfds,'files','C:\myMDFData\CANape3.MF4');

Input Arguments
