How can I receive Ethernet Data

I am working on a project in which I can acquire the data from my Development Board through Ethernet Interface using UDP. In order to receive the data at my PC, I have developed a C program using Winsock. However I want to receive the data directly at Matlab without the need to use the C program. I have tried using UDP receive Matlab utility however I was not successful. Can any one guide me regarding my problem?

Purchase the Instrument Control toolbox and use the UDP() function. It works beautifully.

Thank you very much for the reply. I had the mentioned toolbox so I tried it and it works fine. However I have one more question. Does the tool bar allow streaming of data? Because for the time being I was able to do read the data only manually.

I am not sure what you mean by the "tool bar" for this purpose?

[Habib Khan]

Sorry a typo. I meant Toolbox instead.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean precisely by "streaming" but I assume you at least want some level of automated datagram reading.

Check the documentation for the udp() function. Specifically, the DatagramReceivedFcn and BytesAvailableFcnMode properties. You can set those up in a way to automatically do whatever you want (i.e., the code in DatagramReceivedFcn) when a condition is met (number of bytes arrive, a terminator arrives, etc., which is your BytesAvailableFcnMode).
